The first verse has the same chords as the rest of the verses. Little Donkey Little donkey, little donkey on the dusty road 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. Ring out those bells tonight Bethlehem, Bethlehem Follow that star tonight 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.
