Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 1.: Wasted  and wounded, it ain?t  what the moon did
  I?ve got  what I paid for now
  See  you tomorrow, hey Frank,  can I borrow
  A couple  of bucks from you  to go
  Waltzing  Matilda, waltzing Matilda, you?ll  go waltzing
  Matilda  with me
 2.: 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,...
 3.: 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 Matilda,...
 4.: 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 Matilda,...
 5.: And it?s a battered old suitcase
  To a hotel someplace
  And a wound that will never heal
  No primadonnas, the perfume is on
  An old shirt  that is stained
  With blood and whiskey
  And it?s good-night  for the street-sweepers,
  The nightwatchmen,  flame-keepers
  And goodnight  matilda, too
  Goodnight  Matilda, too
