CLICK GO THE MEDLEY

(C)Out on the board the (F)old shearer stands,
(C)Grasping his shears in his (D7)thin, boney (G7)hands,
(C)Fixed is his gaze on a (F)bare bellied joe,
(G)Glory if he gets her, won't he (C)make the (F)ringer (C)go.

(G7)Click got the shears boys, (C)click, click, click.
(F)Wide is his blow and his (C)hands move (G7)quick
The (C)ringer looks around and is (F)beaten by a blow,
And (G7)curses the old snagger with the (C)bare bellied joe.

(C)There's a track winding (E7)back to an (F)old fashioned (C)shack
Along the (D7)road to (G7)Gunda(C)gai,
Where the (F)gum trees are growin' and the (C)Murrumbidgee's (A7)flowin' be(D7)neath the sunny (G7)sky.
There's my (C)Mother and Daddy a (F)waitin' for me,
and the (A7)pals of my childhood once (D7)more I will (G7)see.
And no (C)more will I (E7)roam 'cos I'm (F)headin' right  for (C)home,
Along the (D7)road to (G7)Gunda(C)gai.

Once a jolly swagman (F)camped by a billabong
(C)Under the shade of a (G7)Coolibah tree,
And he (C)sang as he watched and (F)waited 'till his billy boiled
(C)You'll come a (G7)waltzing Matilda with (C)me.

Waltzing Matilda, (F)waltzing Matilda.
(C)You'll come a waltzing Matilda with (G7)me,
And he (C)sang as watched and (F)waited 'till his billy boiled
(C)You'll come a (G7)waltzing Matilda with (C)me.  
(Repeat last FOUR lines.)


CRUISING DOWN THE MEDLEY

(D)Cruising down the (B7)river, on a (E7)Sunday afternoon,
With (A7)one you love (E7)the sun above
(D)waiting for the (E7)moon.(A7)
The (D)old accordion (B7)playing a (E7)sentimental tune
(D)Cruising (E7)down the (D)river on a (E7)Sunday (A7)after(D)noon......

(C)After the (F)ball is (C)over, after the break of (G7)morn,
(D7)After the (A7)dancers leaving,
(G7)After the stars are (C)gone, Many a (F)heart is (C)aching,
(A7)If you could read them (D7)all.
(G7)Many the hopes that have (C)vani(A7)shed (D7)af(G7)ter the (C)ball....

(G)Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde,
And (D7)the band played on.
He'd glide cross the floor with the girl he adored,
And (G)the band played on.
But his brain was so (D7)loaded it (G7)nearly (C)exploded,
The (Am)poor girl would shake in alarm.
He'd (C)ne'er leave the (G)girl with the strawberry curls,
And the (A7)band (D7)played (G)on......

(C)After the (F)ball is (C)over, after the break of (G7)morn,
(D7)After the (A7)dancers leaving, (G7)After the stars are (C)gone,
Many a (F)heart is (C)aching, (A7)If you could read them (D7)all,
(G7)Many the hopes that have (C)vani(A7)shed
(D7)Af(G7)ter the (C)ball.........
