AND THE BAND PLAYED WALTZING MATLIDA Eric Bogle C F C Am When I was a young man I carried a pack C G7 C and I lived the free life of a rover. F C Am >From the Murray's green banks to the dusty outback C G7 C I waltzed my Matilda all over.

Choruss C F C And the band played Waltzing Matilda Dm As the ship pulled away from the quay, G7 F C Am and amidst all the cheers, the flag waving and tears, C G7 C We sailed off for Gallipoli 2. How well I remember that terrible day How our blood stained the sand and the water And how in that hell they called Suvla Bay We were butchered like lambs at the slaughter Johhny Turk he was waiting, he'd primed himself well He showered us with bullets, and rained us with shell, And in five minutes flat, he'd blown us to hell Nearly blew us right back to Australia And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda As we stopped to bury the slain 1 2 of 75 2/1/2008 10:41 PM Songbook - guitar tabs and guitar chords - Chordie... http://www.chordie.com/createsongbook.php?songbookname=Ukulele... We buried ours and the Turks buried theirs, Then we started all over again 3. They collected the crippled, the wounded and maimed And they shipped us back home to Australia The armless the legless, the blind and insane, All the brave heroes of Suvla And when our ship pulled in to Circular Quay, I looked at the place where my legs used to be, And thanked Christ there was nobody waiting for me - To grieve, to mourn and to pity. And the band played Waltzing Matilda, As they carried us down the gangway, But nobody cheered, they just stood and stared - And they turned all their faces away. 4. And so now every April I sit on my porch, And I watch the parade pass before me, And I see my old comrades how proudly they march, Reviving old dreams and past glories, But the old men march slowly their bones stiff and sore, Tired old men from a tired old war, And the young people ask what are they marching for, And I ask myself the same question. But the band played Waltzing Matilda And the old men still answer the call, But year by year more old men disappear Soon no one will march there at all.

Well, I don't know the Eric Bogle version, but I once had a tape of some Tommy Makum & Ian Clency (Hope I spelled their names right..) live concert where they played this and they used the following cords. Just try 'em and see if they fit. It's in a swingy 3/4 or maybe 6/8. And the band played Waltzing Matilda C F C a When I was a young man I carried my pack C G C and I lived the free life of a rover.
