Am E Am E Am
On a wagon bound for market
Dm Am E7
There's a calf with a mournful eye
Am E Am E Am
High above him there's a swallow
Dm E E7 Am G
Winging swiftly through the sky
CHORUS 1:
C ~ Am
How the winds are laughing
G C ~ Am G
They laugh with all their might
C ~ Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
E B7 Am Am/C Am
And half the summer's night
CHORUS 2:
E7 E A11 Am G C ~ ~ Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7 E A11 Am E E7 Am E Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
Am E Am E Am
Stop complaining, said the farmer
Dm Am E7
Who told you a calf to be?
Am E Am E Am
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Dm E E7 Am G
Like the swallow so proud and free
CHORUS 1:
C ~ Am
How the winds are laughing
G C ~ Am G
They laugh with all their might
C ~ Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through

And half the summer's night

Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7 E A11 Am E A11 Am E Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
Am E Am E Am
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Dm Am E7
Never knowing the reason why
Am E Am E Am
But whoever treasures freedom
Dm E E7 Am G
Like the swallow has learned to fly
CHORUS 1:

How the winds are laughing

And half the summer's night
