I have found the words to this song and have managed to download a MP3 of the song could anyone provide the chords?THE TORTOISE
He was just a lonely tortoise looking for a home.
His little feet were blistered with the miles he had to roam.
I found him in a pet shop. On his cheek there was a tear,
And painted on his little back was "twenty pence to clear."CHORUS: He's a faithful friend, the tortoise. He'll love you till the end,
And you won't need a person with a tortoise for a friend.I took him from the pet shop, tied to a piece of string.
I'm sure that he was happy for I thought I heard him sing.
I took him to my sports car. We had many's the mile to go.
I tied him to the bumper. He was grateful for the tow. CHORUSIn winter he would hibernate. Yes, we'd both retire,
And when his little feet got cold, I'd place him on the fire.
In summer by the swimming pool, I was so proud of him.
I'd throw him in and then he'd sink. I don't think that he could swim. CHORUSThen came the day that's coming to all creatures great and small.
A drunken driver hit my friend. He smashed him against the wall.
When I arrived, all I could find were little bits of shell.
I made them into plectrums. I know my plectrums well. CHORUSHTML line breaks added. --JoeClone, 14-Oct-02.
