The Tortoise
Corries
D
(início)
D G D He was just a lonely tortoise looking for a home D E7 A7 His tiny feet were blistered with the miles he had to roam D I found him in a pet shop G D On his cheek there was a tear D And painted on his little back E7 A7 D Was 20 pence to clear
Chorus
G He's a faithful friend a tortoise D A7 He'll love you till the end D G A7 D And you won't need a person with a tortoise for a friend D G D I took him from the petshop, tied to a piece of string D E7 A7 I'm sure that he was happy for I thoght I heard him sing D G D I took him to my sports car, we had manys the mile to go D E7 A7 D I tied him to the bumper, he was grateful for the tow
Chorus
D In winter he would hibernate G D Yes, we'd both retire D And when his little feet, his tiny feet, got cold E7 A7 I'd place him on the fire D In summer by the swimming pool G D I was so proud of him D I'd throw him in, and then he'd sink E7 A7 D I don't think that he could swim
Chorus
D G D Then came the day that's coming to all creatures great and small D E7 A7 A drunken driver hit my friend, he smashed him against a wall D G D When I arrived all I could find were little bits of shell D E7 A7 D I made them into plectrums, I know my plectrums well
