Verse 1
A
D
When I was a young man
A
I carried my pack
E
A
And I lived the free life of a rover
E
From the Murray's green basin
D
A
to the dusty outback
E
A
I waltzed my Matilda all over
E
Then in nineteen fifteen
D
A
my country said "Son,
E
it's time to stop rambling,
D
A
'cause there's work to be done"
D
So they gave me a tin hat
A
and they gave me a gun
E
A
And they sent me away to the war
Chorus 1
A
D
A
And the band played "Waltzing Matilda"
E
As we sailed away from the quay
D
And amidst all the tears
A
and the shouts and the cheers
E
A
We sailed off for Gallipoli
Verse 2
A
D
A
How well I remember that terrible day
E
When the blood stained the sand
A
and the water
E
And how in that hell
D
A
that they called Suvla Bay
E
We were butchered like lambs
A
at the slaughter
E
Johnny Turk he was ready,
D
A
he primed himself well
E
He showered us with bullets,
D
A
and he rained us with shells
D
And in five minutes flat
A
he'd blown us all to hell
E
A
Nearly blew us right back to Australia
Chorus 2
A
D
A
And the band played "Waltzing Matilda"
E
As we stopped to bury our slain
D
And we buried ours,
A
and the Turks buried theirs
E
A
And it started all over again
Verse 3
A
D
Now those who were living
A
did their best to survive
E
A
In that mad world of death, blood, and fire
E
And for seven long weeks
D
A
I kept myself alive
E
While the corpses around me
A
piled higher
E
Then a big Turkish shell
D
A
knocked me arse over tit
E
And when I awoke
D
A
in my hospital bed
D
And saw what it had done,
A
Christ I wished I was dead
E
Never knew there were worse things
A
worse than dy ing
Chorus 3
A
D
A
And no more I'll go waltzing Matilda
E
To the green bushes so far and near
D
For to hang tent and pegs,
A
a man needs two legs
E
A
No more waltzing Matilda for me

Verse 4
A
D
So they collected the cripples
A
the wounded and maimed
E
And they shipped us back home
A
to Australia
E
The legless, the armless,
D
A
the blind and insane
E
A
Those proud wounded heroes of Suvla
E
D
A
And as our ship pulled into Circular Quay
E
I looked at the place
D
A
where me legs used to be
D
And thank Christ there was nobody
A
waiting for me
E
A
To grieve and to mourn and to pity
Chorus 4
A
D
A
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
E
As they carried us down the gangway
D
But nobody cheered,
A
they just stood and stared
E
A
And they turned their faces away
Verse 5
A
D
And now every April
A
I sit on my porch
E
A
And I watch the parade pass before me
E
I see my old comrades,
D
A
how proudly they march
E
A
Reliving their dreams of past glory
E
I see the old men,
D
A
all twisted and torn
E
The forgotten heroes
D
A
of a forgotten war
D
And the young people ask me,
A
"What are they marching for?"
E
A
And I ask myself the same question
Chorus 5
A
D
A
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
E
And the old men still answer the call
D
But year after year
A
their numbers get fewer
E
A
Some day no one will march there at all
