C               F            C  
Little donkey, little donkey on 
          G7
the dusty road
C7              Dm              
Got to keep on plodding onwards 
G7                 C
with your precious load.
C                  F            
Been a long time, little donkey 
 C                   G7
through the winter's night
C7                  Dm           
Don't give up now, little donkey,
 G7             C
Bethlehem's in sight.

Am             Em
Ring out those bells tonight
D7     G    D7    G
Bethlehem, Bethlehem
Am          Em
Follow that star tonight
D7     G    D7    G
Bethlehem, Bethlehem.
