---Frank Turner ---The Armadillo (Flanders & Swann Cover) ---Mittens EP Here's a fairly simplified version of how Frank plays this great song. Feel free to correct any mistakes, I'm still a rookie at this :) EADGBe A7 x02020 Am x02210 Am7 x02010 B7 x21202 Bm x24432 Bm#5 x20033 C x32010 C/B x20010 D xx0323 Dadd4/F# 2x0033 Em 022000 F# 244322 G 320033 G5 3x0033 --Riff: e|------------------------------------------------------------------ B|----------3---3---3---3---3---3---1-----------1h3p1--------------- G|----------0---0---0---0---0---0---0---0---------------0-------0--- D|------0-----------------------------------2---------------2------- A|------------------2---2---2---2---0------------------------------- E|--3-------2---2--------------------------------------------------- --Interlude: e|------------------------------------------- B|--1------0--------------------------------- G|--0------0-------2-------0--------0----2--- D|-----------------2-------2-------2/4---0--- A|------2------2-------2-------2------------- E|------------------------------------------- [Riff x2] G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7 D I was taking compass bearings for the Ordanance Survey G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7 Am7 D On an army training camp on Salisbury plain.
I had Bmpacked up my theoEmdolite, I was Amcalling it a Dday B7When I heard a voice that sang a sad reEmfrain:
[Interlude] G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7 D Oh my darling armadillo, let me tell you of my love, G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7 Am7 D Listen to my armadillo roundelay.
Be my Bmfellow on my Empillow underAmneath this weeping Dwillow, Be my Cdarling C/BarmadAm7illo Dall the day.
[Riff x2] G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7 D I was somewhat disconcerted by this curious affair G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7 Am7 D For a single armadillo, you alone,
On BmSalisbury plain in Emsummer is comAmparitively Drare And a B7pair of them is practically unkEmnown.
Drawn Bmby that mellow Emsolo, there I F#followed on my Bmbike To Emdiscover Am7what these Emarmadillo B7lovers might be Emlike.
[Interlude] G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7 D Oh my darling armadillo how delightful it would be G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7 Am7 D If for us those silver wedding bells should chime.
Let the Bmorange blossoms Embillow, you need Amonly say I Dwill, oh Be my Cdarling C/BarmadAm7illo Dall the time.
[Riff x2]
Then I Bmsaw them in a Emhollow on a F#yellow muddy Bmbank; An EmarmaAm7dillo Emsinging to an B7armour-plated Emtank.

I Bmleft him to his Emsinging, I cycled F#home without a Bmpause. EmNever Am7tell a Emman the truth about the B7one that he aEmdores.
G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 Am7 D On the breeze that followed sunset I could hear that sad refrain G5 Dadd4/F# Bm#5 A7 Am7 D Singing willow, willow, willow down the way.
And I Bmseem to hear it Emstill oh vive lAm'amour, vive l'armadilDlo, Be my CdarlingC/B armaAm7dillo Dall the Gday.
Be my CdarlingC/B armaAm7dillo Dall the Gday.
