Electrified Donkey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I b[G]ought m[Cm]e a[G]
donkey about a four [Ab]feet tall
[G]To plow my cotton in the ear[D]ly fall
His runnin' round was an awful sin
I had to [G]build a fence to keep my [C]donkey [Ab]in
I rigged [G]up a wire with a battery charge
To keep my donkey from a
[D]-runnin' at large
Inside this [Cm]pen [D]I turned him loose
Corralled [G]by volts of electrified juice
Which [C#]way [C]did [Fm]my do[G]nkey go[D]?
If you [C]see [G]him, let me know
[C]Haven't seen my [G]donkey since
[D]He backed in[G]to that electrified nest
The first time he backed up against it
He throwed back his ears [D]and he had a fit
He brayed real [G]loud [D]and he hit high gear
[C]He jumped way[G] up into the atmosphere
Which way did [C]my donkey [G]go?
[D]If you see him, [G]let me know
[C]Haven't seen my [G]donkey since
[D]He backed into tha[C]t lek[G] par[C]k[G][Bm][G][Cm][G][D][G]
[C][Fm][G][D][G][C][G][Ab][Cm][D]
[G][Cm][C][C#][C][D]
[Ab]I ju[G]st got wor[Ab]d from Albuq[G]uerque
[Ab]A donkey the[G]re was a -lo[C]okin' for work
It could [D]be my beloved Jack,
[C]if [G]so, I'd love to have him back
Which way [C]did my [G]donkey [D]go?
If you see him, [G]let me know
[C]Haven't seen my [G]donkey since
[D]he backed into tha[C]t bla[G]ck bike
More work came from Palomar,
a man up there was a [C]-watchin' a star
[D]While a -lookin' through his telescope,
[Ab]he nearly had hims[G]elf a stroke
He's seen somethin' ridin'
up the rainbow trail
With two long ears and a [D]cuff of bird [C]tail
[D]The thing he's seen, he firmly states
Was a donkey a -headin'
for the pearly gates
[G]Which [C]way did my [G]donkey [D]go?
Oh, St. [G]Peter, don't say no
Meet [C]my donkey [G]with a grin
[D]Please, St. Peter,
let the [G]donkey hear

[Outro 1]
