[Verse 1]
       D                                C                  D
Well I don’t know if you’ve noticed but lately it seems to me
D                                               C                 D
Almost as if things are not running exactly the way they ought to be
     D                                    C             D
It’s almost as if the falcon can hear the falconer just fine
        D                                      C             D
And the falconer’s telling the falcon to leave most of us to die
  D                           C                           D
Before you start to worrying, scratching at your skin all night
               D  N.C
Remember, when DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright


[Chorus 1]
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright, alright
D  C  D
D  C  D


[Verse 2]
            D                                  C                          D
Now there’s other people who have noticed that things are not quite right too
      D                                  C                   D
These people, they are doing almost everything that they can do
     D                       C             D
Some people are hoping for a real good revolution
      D                         C             D
Other people are just hoping to die and go to Heaven
    D                            C                       D
Revolutionaries in Heaven eat at Schwartz’s and fuck all night
         D  N.C.
And when DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright


[Chorus 2]
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
    D                               C                   D
The don (don!), don (don!), donkey, making everything alright
    D                               C                   D
The don (don!), don (don!), donkey, making everything alright, alright!
D  C  D
D  C  D
D  C  D
D  C  D


[Verse 3]
D                                         C                 D
Donkey will protect the chickens from the predators of this land
D                               C                  D
Polar bears shall all return to shake the donkey’s hand
    D                         C  D
The donkey will kick and bray
    D
The donkey will kick and bray
    D                                 C              D
The donkey will kick and bray and the children will evolve
     D                              C                D
Into donkey-human creatures full of intelligence and love
  D                            C             D
Humanity shall awaken from its long, idiotic night
             D  N.C.
Because when DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright


[Chorus 3]
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
D  C  D
D  C  D


[Verse 4]
   D                        C                   D
So get yourself a drink and go and dance with a cutie
  D                            C              D
Luxuriate in the terror of the violin’s risky beauty
              D                           C          D
And when it’s time to pass the hat at the end of the night
               D  N.C
Remember, when DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright


[Chorus 4]
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright
     D                   C                    D
When DD gets her donkey, everything will be alright


[Outro]
    D                  C           D
The donkey, that’s the fundamental key
   D           C              D
To making everything turn out right
