[Riff x2]

   G5G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5      Am7Am7     D MajorD
I was taking compass bearings for the Ordanance Survey

   G5G5  Dadd4/F# Bm#5  A7A7    Am7Am7    D MajorD
On an army training camp on Salisbury plain.

   B minorBm        E minorEm      A minorAm      D MajorD
I had packed up my theodolite, I was calling it a day

B7B7                   E minorEm
When I heard a voice that sang a sad refrain:


[Interlude]


   G5G5   Dadd4/F# Bm#5   Am7Am7      D MajorD
Oh my darling armadillo, let me tell you of my love,

    G5G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7A7  Am7Am7   D MajorD
Listen to my armadillo roundelay.

   B minorBm      E minorEm     A minorAm         D MajorD
Be my fellow on my pillow underneath this weeping willow,

   C majorC    C/BC/B Am7Am7 D MajorD    G+G
Be my darling armadillo all the day.

[Riff x2]


   G5G5    Dadd4/F# Bm#5    Am7Am7    D MajorD
I was somewhat disconcerted by this curious affair

   G5G5   Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7A7  Am7Am7  D MajorD
For a single armadillo, you alone,

  B minorBm         E minorEm      A minorAm     D MajorD
On Salisbury plain in summer is comparitively rare

   B7B7               E minorEm
And a pair of them is practically unknown.


   B minorBm       E minorEm      F#F#       B minorBm
Drawn by that mellow solo, there I followed on my bike

  E minorEm    Am7Am7    E minorEm    B7B7       E minorEm
To discover what these armadillo lovers might be like.


[Interlude]


   G5G5   Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7Am7        D MajorD
Oh my darling armadillo how delightful it would be

   G5G5    Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7A7      Am7Am7   D MajorD
If for us those silver wedding bells should chime.

    B minorBm       E minorEm        A minorAm     D MajorD
Let the orange blossoms billow, you need only say I will, oh

   C majorC    C/BC/B Am7Am7 D MajorD    G+G
Be my darling armadillo all the time.


[Riff x2]


    B minorBm      E minorEm     F#F#      B minorBm
Then I saw them in a hollow on a yellow muddy bank;

  E minorEm Am7Am7  E minorEm      B7B7      E minorEm
An armadillo singing to an armour-plated tank.

Should I tell him gaunt and rusting with the willow tree above,

This abandoned on-manoeuvres is the object of your love?


 B minorBm       E minorEm        F#F#       B minorBm
I left him to his singing, I cycled home without a pause.

E minorEm  Am7Am7  E minorEm           B7B7      E minorEm
Never tell a man the truth about the one that he adores.


   G5G5     Dadd4/F# Bm#5      Am7Am7       D MajorD
On the breeze that followed sunset I could hear that sad refrain

    G5G5   Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7A7    Am7Am7   D MajorD
Singing willow, willow, willow down the way.

   B minorBm       E minorEm       A minorAm          D MajorD
And I seem to hear it still oh vive l’amour, vive l’armadillo,

   C majorC   C/BC/B Am7Am7  D MajorD    G+G
Be my darling armadillo all the day.

   C majorC   C/BC/B Am7Am7  D MajorD    G+G
