[Verse 1]
Am                      Dm
With a donkey on my shoulder,

C            E
And a jackal on my back,

Am                        Dm
I'll carry these, my children,

C              E
Keep them safe from attack

Dm                    G              E                  Am
The donkey makes it hard to dance, the jackal sings too loud

Dm                      Am               E              E
The donkey cries when it's alone, and the jackal is too proud
[Chorus]
Am               Dm
Little donkey is getting restless,

C               E
Getting heavier as it grows

Am              Dm
And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful,

C              E
Keeps biting at my nose
[Bridge] Am Dm (Single Strum for this bit) I would have a lover,
C              E
a husband, and a child

Am              Dm
But the donkey is too jealous,
C E (Build up speed again on this last E) And the jackal is to
Dm      G       Am
wild

          Dm      G      E
It's too wild
[Verse 2]
Dm              G
You ask me why I keep them,

E               Am
Why I love them so,

         Dm            G
Why they get away with murder,

E                 E
As they grow and grow and grow, oh

  Dm                G
I keep them 'cause I made them,

   C                E
They come from in my heart

    Dm              G
With each mistake I make

         E        Am
Created, and torn apart

   Dm                 G
And when it's time to feed them,

  E               Am
Before they go to bed,

  Dm            G
I give them my confessions,

C                  E
Baked within their bread
[Chorus]
Am               Dm
Little donkey is getting restless,

C               E
Getting heavier as it grows

Am              Dm
And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful,

C              E
Keeps biting at my nose

Am               Dm
Little donkey is getting restless,

C               E
Getting heavier as it grows

Am              Dm
And the jackal, spoilt and spiteful,

C              E
Keeps biting at my nose
