Donkey chords by Jerrod Niemann

Capo 1st

INTRO:
Play the open 6th string twice, then play the 5th string with your finger on the 7th
fret (relative to the capo),
and then play the 6th string a 4th time. You're going to do this a total of 8 times.

You can also just simply play Em, D, and A. Listen for them, especially on the last 4
rounds of the intro.

George Jones took a John Deere tractor, hope my donkey gets there faster

Em                               D                 A
When I pull up in pickup truck, jocks break out in laughter

Em
But the ladies think it's cool, I kick it with a mule

Em
I fill their glass, they tip 'em back

D                   A        Em
