JOIN THE BRITISH ARMY
19th C. English folk song
Key: Dm
Time: 6/8

 5  -6 -7   -6   6  5   -4 5
When I was young I used to be
5   6  -6  6  5  -4   -3    3
As fine a man as you could see
 3    -3”  -3   4    -4  5   5  5
The Prince of Wales, he said to me
 5    5   -4   4   -4  5  5
Come join the Brit-ish ar-my
-6  -6  -6  6    6  5    5
Too-ra, loo-ra, loo-ra, loo
   5     6    6   6   6   5   -4 -3   3
They’re look-ing for mon-keys in the zoo
 3 -3” -3 4 -4  5    5    5
And if I had a face like you
 5   5   -4   4   -3 -3”-3”
I’d join the Brit-ish ar-my
