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.
G7 F C
Then in nineteen fifteen my country said 'son',
G7 F G7
There's no time for rovin' there's work to be done!
C F C Am
And they gave me a tin hat and gave me a gun
C G7 C
And they sent me away to the war.
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

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

BEHIND BLUE EYES
The Who
Em G D C A
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man, to be the sad man, behind blue eyes
Em G D C A
No one knows what it's like to be hated, to be fated, to telling only liesChorus
C D G C D E
But my dreams, they aren't as empty as my conscience seems to be
Bm C D A
I have hours, only lonely, My love is vengeance that's never free
Em G D C A
No one knows what it's like to feel these feelings like I do, and I blame you
Em G D C A
No one bites back as hard on their anger, none of my pain and woe, can show throughChorus
D Bm A E Bm G D
When my fist clenches crack it open, before I use it and lose my cool
Bm A E Bm A E
When I smile tell me some bad news before I laugh and act like a fool
D Bm A E Bm A D
And if I swallow anything evil, stick your finger down my throat
Bm A E Bm A E
If I shiver please give me a blanket, keep me warm let me wear your coat
Em G D
No one knows what it's like, to be the bad man
C A
To be the sad man, behind blue eyes

BROWN EYED GIRL
Van Morrison
G C
Hey, where did we go
G D
Days when the rain came
G C
Down in the hollow
G D
Playin' a new game
G C
Laughin' and a runnin', hey hey
G D
Skippin' and a jumpin'
G C
In the misty mornin' fog
G D
With our hearts a thumpin'
C D
And you
G Em
My brown eyed girl
C D
And you, my
G
Brown eyed girl
Bridge:
D7
Do you remember when we used to sing
G C G D7
Sha la la la la la la la te da just like that
G C G D7 G
Sha la la la la la la la te da la te da
Whatever happened to Tuesday and so slow
Going down to the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall
Slipping and a sliding
