Intro: F/Gm/F/Bb/F/F/G/G7/C/C7 
Bb F 
1.: Wasted and wounded, it ain?t what the moon did 
Gm F C F 
I?ve got what I paid for now 
Bb F 
See you tomorrow, hey Frank, can I borrow 
G C 
A couple of bucks from you to go 
F C F Gm F 
Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you?ll go waltzing 
Gm C 
Matilda with me 
 
2.: I?m an innocent victim of a blinded alley 
And I?m tired of all these soldiers here 
No one speaks english and everything?s broken 
And my strength is soaking away to go 
Waltzing Matilda,... 
 
3.: Now I?ve lost my St. Christopher 
Now that I?ve kissed her 
And the one-armed bandit knows 
And the maverick chinaman with the cold blooded signs 
And the girls down by the striptease shows go 
Waltzing Matilda,... 
 
4.: No, I don?t want your sympathy 
The fugitives say, that the streets aren?t for dreaming now 
Manslaughter dragnets and the ghosts that sell memories 
They want a piece of the action anyhow go 
Waltzing Matilda,... 
 
5.: And it?s a battered old suitcase 
To a hotel someplace 
And a wound that will never heal 
No primadonnas, the perfume is on 
Gm C 
An old shirt that is stained 
C7 F C F 
With blood and whiskey 
Bb 
And it?s good-night for the street-sweepers, 
F 
The nightwatchmen, flame-keepers 
Gm C C7 F 
And goodnight matilda, too 
 
Outro: Gm/F/Bb/Bb/F

Goodnight Matilda, too
