Florence And The Machine - Donkey Kosh

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
