(Verse 1)
[Am]On a [E]wagon [Am]bound for [E]market
[Am]There’s a [Dm]calf with a [Am]mournful [E]eye
[Am]High [E]above him [Am]there’s a [E]swallow
[Am]Winging [Dm]swiftly [Am]through [E]the [Am]sky
(Chorus)
[G]How the winds are [C]laughing [Am]
They [G]laugh with all their [C]might
[G]Laugh and laugh the [C]whole day [Am]through
And [E]half the summer’s [Am]night
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[G]Donna Donna Donna [C]Don
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Don [E] [Am] [E]
(Verse 2)
[Am]“Stop [E]complaining” [Am]said the [E]farmer
[Am]“Who told [Dm]you a [Am]calf to [E]be?
[Am]Why don’t [E]you have [Am]wings to [E]fly with
[Am]Like the [Dm]swallow, so [Am]proud [E]and [Am]free?”
(Chorus)
[G]How the winds are [C]laughing [A,]
They [G]laugh with all their [C]might
[G]Laugh and laugh the [C]whole day [Am]through
And [E]half the summer’s [Am]night
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[G]Donna Donna Donna [C]Don
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Don [E] [Am] [E]
(Verse 3)
[Am]Calves are [E]easily [Am]bound and [E]slaughtered
[Am]Never [Dm]knowing the [Am]reason [E]why
[Am]But [E]whoever [Am]treasures [E]freedom
[Am]Like the [Dm]swallow has [Am]learned [E]to [Am]fly
(Chorus)
[G]How the winds are [C]laughing [Am]
They [G]laugh with all their [C]might
[G]Laugh and laugh the [C]whole day [Am]through
And [E]half the summer’s [Am]night
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[G]Donna Donna Donna [C]Don
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Donna
[E]Donna Donna Donna [Am]Don [E] [Am] [E]
