Redgum – 100 Years On chords
Chords:
D AHe came in from Melbourne on a PioneerG AAdelaide morning, warm and clearD A GAnd a past that wasn't quite within the lawD AAnd he opened yet another ten dollar roomG ATo a broken blind and a rising gloomD A GAnd a threadbare cotton carpet on the floorD AAnd the muzak piping through the corridorG APlayed that song he heard beforeD G AIt went, who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?D AA suitcase held with rope and twineG ACleaner's shirt and an open mindD G AA trail of debts to mark where he had beenD AA million miles of racetracksG AAnd torn tickets on the groundD G AAnd his only son cut down in Phnom Penh greenD AA police car crawled down Gouger streetG AAs he looked for some place cheap to eatD G AIt was just another curbside interviewD AWith a warrant out in AdelaideG AFor a bad decision that he once madeD G AAn instinct took his tongue and pulled him throughD ASo he left his hotel room that nightG AIn time to make a midnight flightD G AWith an overloaded truckie going eastD AAnd the line ran round inside his headG AWas it something that his best friend saidF#m G A D"Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?"Bm D AA billabong's just a grubby pond that's busy washing oreG A DThe squatter drives a thoroughbred of steelD A GAnd if he runs forever, will his life be all in vain?D A GAt least that's how it makes him feelD AAnd the truckie pushed a cassette inG AAs they rumbled through the GrampiansD A G A DIt played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?F#mWaltzing MatildaF#mWaltzing MatildaG A DWho'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?F#mWaltzing MatildaF#mWaltzing MatildaG A DWho'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?D AAnd the truckie pushed a cassette inGAs they rumbled through the GrampiansD G AIt played Who'll come a-waltzing Matilda with me?
