(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] 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]
