	Dm	Am	Em	Am
He	didn't like	beggin' and	work was to	hard

	C	Em	Am
Got a new suit of	blue as	bright as new	pins

	Dm	Am	Em	Am
They	drilled him they	drilled him they	drilled him so	hard

	C	Em	G
The ould sergeant pro	claimed him a	fully fledge	guard

Diddlee

Dm	Am	Em	G	Dm
I dum diddlee	I dum diddlee I	dum dum	day

	C	Em	G
Soon made it quite	clear that she	wanted no	guard

Diddlee

Dm	Am	Em	G	Dm
I dum diddlee	I dum diddlee I	dum dum	day

	Am	C	G	Dm
One	time while on	duty on a	dark winter's	night

	C	Em	Am
He caught her out	cycling with	out any	light

	Dm	Am	Em	Am
