The Electrified Donkey Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Oh, well, I [D]bought me a donkey,
about four foot tall
To plough my [A]cotton in the early fall
He's runnin' around, it was an awful sin
I [D]had to build a fence to keep my [A]don[D]key in

[Verse 2]
I [D]rigged up a wire with a battery charge
To keep my [A]donkey from
a-running at at large
Inside this bin I turned him loose
[D]Thrilled by volts of electrified juice

[Verse 3]
Well, [G]which way did my [D]donkey go
[A]If you see him [D]let me know
I [G]haven't seen my [D]donkey since
He backed in[E]to that [D]electrified [A]fence[D]

[Verse 4]
[D]
Now, the first time he backed up against [A]it
[D]He threw back his ear[A]s and he had a fit
He brayed real loud and he hit high gear
He [D]jumped up into the stratosphere

[Verse 5]
I [D]just got word from Albuquerque
A donkey up there was
[A]looking for work
He's my donkey and his name is Jack
Oh, [D]how I wish he'd come on [A]back
[D]Well,

[Verse 6]
[G]which way did my don[D]key go
[A]If you see him [D]let me know
I [G]haven't seen my [D]donkey since
He [A]backed into that [D]electrified fence

[Verse 7]
[D]
Now, more word came from Palomar
A man up [A]there was
a-watching the the star
While looking through his telescope
He [D]nearly had him[A]self [D]a stroke

[Verse 8]
He [D]saw something riding
up the rainbow trail
With two long ears [A]and a puckered up tail
The thing he saw when he
'firmed the states
Was a [D]donkey heading
for the [A]pearly gates

[Verse 9]
Well, [G]which way did my don[D]key go
[A]If you see him [D]let me know
I [G]haven't seen my [D]donkey since
He [A]backed into that [D]electrified [A]fence[D]

[Outro 1]
[A][D]
