The first verse has the same chords as the rest of the verses.

Little Donkey

C                    F              C              G7
Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road
C7                          Dm                         G7                                       C
Got to keep on plodding onwards with your precious load.

Been a long time, little donkey through the winter's night
Don't give up now, little donkey, Bethlehem's in sight.

Chorus

Am                         Em
Ring out those bells tonight 
F           G       F       G
Bethlehem, Bethlehem 
Am                Em
Follow that star tonight 
F           G       F       G
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.

Little donkey, little donkey had a heavy day 
Little donkey carry Mary safely on her way.
Little donkey, little donkey, journey?s end is near 
There are wisemen waiting for a sign to bring them here.

Do not falter, little donkey, there's a star ahead 
It will guide you, little donkey, to a cattle shed.

Chorus
