She came
into your life like the morning sun

Coming through the

bedroom window
Em
C
She held you with a warmth of love
Bm
G
Bm
You'd never know
Em
C
She kissed you with a kiss
that had no ending
Bm
Em
Bm
G
Touched you with angels' fingers
Em
C
G
What could you do but fall in love?
C
You danced on the floor
D
C
an d you held her
D
G

Like you're never gonna let her go
G
C
And you don't remember
D
anyone else around

Six years on, the flame was bright,
D
G
the trees around you told
C
D
With pictures of your jour
C
D
G
neys on the wall
C
G
D
You stayed on course
C
D
G
while the world was going crazy
D
C
D
G
It was so good to be in love
C
D
But now she's gone,
C
you don't know why
D
G
She was only sleeping
C
D
C
The sun has bathed the hills
D
C
G
in golden light
C
D
C
You still feel her sunshine,
D
G
she is now your dreamin'
C
D
G
The angels came and took her
D
C
And when I awoke in the hospital bed
G
I saw what I'd done
C
G
Em
And I wished I was dead,
G
D
then I knew there were worse
G
things than dying
C
G
And I'll go no more waltzing Matilda,
D
all through the green bush far and free
C
Cause to hunt and tent peg,
G
Em
a man needs both legs
G
D
G
No more waltzing Matilda for me
C
They collected the crippled,
G
the wounded, the maimed,
D
G
shipped us all back to Australia
C
The legless, the armless,
G
the blind and insane,
D
G
the brave wounded heroes of Suvla
D
And as our ship pulled into
C
G
Circular Quay,
D
I looked at the place where
C
my legs used to be
G
And I thank Christ
C
G
Em
there was nobody waiting for me
G
D
G
To mourn and to grieve and to pity
C
G
And the band played Waltzing Matilda
As they carried us down
D
the gangway
C
Nobody cheered,
G
Em
they just stood and stared
G
D
G
Then turned all their faces away
C
G
And now every April I sit on the porch
D
G
As I watch the parade pass before me
C
I see my old comrades,
G
how proudly they march
D
G
Reviving old dreams and past glories
D
But the old men march slowly,
C
G
bone stiff and sore
D
C
G
Tired old men from a tired old war
C
And the young people ask,
G
Em
what are they marching for?
G
D
G
And I ask myself the same question
C
G
And the band plays Waltzing Matilda
D
As the old men still answer the call
C
G
C
G
Year after year more old men disappear
Em
G
D
G
C
D
C
Soon none of them will march there at all

Thank you very much.
