The Tortoise

D                           
He was just a lonely tortoise 
  G             D
looking for a home
    D                            
His tiny feet were blistered with 
      E7              A7
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                              
And you won't need a person with a 
G        A7    D
tortoise for a friend

  D                          G    
I took him from the petshop, tied 
              D
to a piece of string
    D                            
I'm sure that he was happy for I 
E7                 A7
thoght I heard him sing
  D                                
I took him to my sports car, we had
 G                 D
 manys the mile to go
  D                             
I tied him to the bumper, he was 
   E7       A7      D
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                             
Then came the day that's coming to 
    G                   D
all creatures great and small
  D                                
A drunken driver hit my friend, he 
E7                    A7
smashed him against a wall
     D                             
When I arrived all I could find 
  G              D
were little bits of shell
  D                           E7  
I made them into plectrums, I know
    A7        D
 my plectrums well
