As the alternative title indicates, this song incorporates parts of the Australian folk song Waltzing Matilda. The song is one of Tom Waits' signature works and has been covered by artists including Rod Stewart. For this arrangement I was asked to faithfully recreate the original Waits recording as a piano accompaniment score.

The arrangement is intermediate level including clef changes as the right hand moves in and out of the lower middle register. Extracts of the original Waltzing Matilda melody can also be found in the piano score, referencing the string parts on the recording.

The vocal line and lyrics are provided for reference.

Arranged for TTBB plus tenor solo, and intended for adult audiences, this song is also commonly known as Waltzing Mathilda. This arrangement captures the sultry, sordid feel of Waits' own performance of his stunning lyrics and clever mashup of Waits' dystopian mood painting of a stranded and disaffected man in a foreign land.

Shiver Me Timbers by Tom Waits is a classical example of the 'sea song' (not to be confused with a shanty).  It has a maritime theme to it; it's in the style of a ballad; and it's the type of song you'd sing off watch.  It's message: the rite of passage.  This arrangement of Waits' beautiful musical narrative is scored for a 4-part SATB ensemble with piano accompaniment. Performance time: 3:36+ This song is from his The Heart of Saturday Night 1974 album.

An SATB arrangement of Tom Waits song with piano accompaniment, as covered by many artists including Fay Hield, from whom I got the idea for this version. Although written for 4 parts, I have deliberately put the bass line firmly in the piano accompaniment so it could effectively be sung by a 3 part choir, as evidenced by the a capella section at the end. The words are based on British folksong imagery in which the briar represents 'man' and the rose represents 'woman'. .
