Six years on, the flame was bright,
E
A
the trees around you told
D
E
With pictures of your jour
D
E
A
neys on the wall
D
A
E
You stayed on course
D
E
A
while the world was going crazy
E
D
E
A
It was so good to be in love
D
E
But now she's gone,
D
you don't know why
E

She was only sleeping

The sun has bathed the hill s

You still feel her sunshine,
E

she is now your dreamin'
D

The angels came and took her
E
D
An d when I awoke in the hos pital bed
A
I saw what I'd done
D
A
F#m
And I wished I was dead,
A
E
then I knew there were worse
A
things than dy ing
D
A
And I'll go no more waltzing Mat ilda,
E
all through the green bush far and free
D
Cause to hunt and tent peg,
A
F#m
a man needs both legs
A
E
A
No more waltzing Matilda for me
D
They collected the crippled,
A
the wounded, the maimed,
E
A
shipped us all back to Aus tralia
D
The legless, the armless,
A
the blind and insane,
E
A
the brave wounded her oes of Suvla
E
And as our ship pulled into
D
A
Cir cular Quay,
E
I looked at the place where
D
my legs used to be
A
And I thank Christ
D
A
F#m
there was nobody wait ing for me
A
E
A
To mourn and to grieve and to pity
D
A
And the band played Waltzing Mat ilda
As they carried us down
E
the gang way
D
Nobody cheered,
A
F#m
they just stood and stared
A
E
A
Then turned all their faces away
D
A
And now every April I sit on the porch
E
A
As I watch the parade pass before me
D
I see my old com rades,
A
how proudly they march
E
A
Reviving old dreams and past glor ies
E
But the old men march slowly,
D
A
bone stiff and sore
E
D
A
Tired old men from a tired old war
D
And the young people ask,
A
F#m
what are they marching for?
A
E
A
And I ask myself the same ques tion
D
A
And the band plays Waltzing Mat ilda
E
As the old men still answer the call
D
A
D
A
Year after year more old men disappear
F#m
A
E
A
D
E
D
Soon none of them will march there at all
