Misc Originals – Dark Eyed Scarecrow - Shelly The Turtle (Guitar)

D                              G
When the cold winds blew, the little turtle knew to

D             A
Dig a hole to hibernate

D                        G
She slept until the spring then wandered

D                              C Em A
Around looking for a playmate

D                      G
Crossed the street she almost got hit,

       D                   A
And tried to hide in some rocks

D                       G
The driver stopped and picked her up

       D        C Em A
And put her in a box

D                           G
He thought for a while and decided to

D                A
Take her to our school

D                         G
We built her a home with dirt and rocks

          D                  C Em A
And she thought it was pretty cool

D          G          D                  A
Shelly the turtle she lived right in our class

D          G          D                  A
Shelly the turtle we fed her leaves and grass

D          G       D                    A
Shelly the turtle liked sleeping in the sun

D          G          D              C Em A
Shelly the turtle was always so much fun!

D                      G
We sat in a circle and put her inside

    D              A
She’d walk around side to side

D                  G
Where she’d go you never could tell

    D                         C Em A
But when she’d get close we’d pet her shell

D          G          D                  A

D                 G
Weeks went by and spring came to an end

D                            A
We had to say goodbye to our friend

D                      G
We wrote her notes and wished her the best

D                          C Em A
And sent her off on her new quest
