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)
Donkey Kosh
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
