Chords

I couldn't find these anywhere, so thought I'd work them out / put them up. It's based on the video at blue flowers on myspace. The chords are right, but I'm not sure if he uses different tuning / fingering. And I missed out the fiddly / scale- y bits. Have fun, it's a brilliant song! (Bm & Em on 7th fret, D on 5th, F# on 2nd, A on 5th)

Bm                      Em
With a donkey on my shoulder,

D                F#
And a jackal on my back,

I'll carry these, my children, Keep them safe from attack

Em                      A               F#              Bm
The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud

Em                      A               F#              F#
The donkey cries when it's alone, and the jackal is too proud

Little donkey is getting restless, Getting heavier as it grows And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful, Keeps biting at my nose

Bm              Em
I would have a lover,

D               F#
A husband, and a child

But the donkey is too jealous, And the jackal is to

Em      A       Bm
wild

        Em      A       Bm
It's too wild

Em              A
You ask me why I keep them,

F#              Bm
Why I love them so,

Why they get away with murder,

                F#
As they grow and grow and grow, oh

I keep them cos I made them, They come from in my heart With each mistake I make Created, and torn apart And when it's time to feed them, Before they go to bed, I give them my confessions, Baked within their bread Little donkey is getting restless, Getting heavier as it grows And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful, Keeps biting at my nose Little donkey is getting restless, Getting heavier as it grows And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful, Keeps biting at my nose
