Written by TOM WAITS, covered by Rod on "LEAD VOCALIST" 1993

Intro: F/Gm/F/Bb/F/F/G/G7/C/C7

 Bb                 F
 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 Mathilda, you´ll go waltzing
  Gm        C
Matilda with me

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,...

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 Mathilda,...

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 Mathilda,...

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 Mathilda, too

Outro: Gm/F/Bb/Bb/F
Gm        C   C7  F
Goodnight Mathilda, too
