Introduction: Am E Am E
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E
On a wagon bound for market there's a calf with a mournful eye
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E Am
High above him there's a swallow winging swiftly through the sky
G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night
E Am G C Am
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
E Am E Am E Am E
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E
"Stop complaining" said the farmer "Who told you a calf to be?
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E Am
Why don't you have wings to fly with like the swallow, so proud and free?"
G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night
E Am G C Am
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
E Am E Am E Am E
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, never knowing the reason why
Am E Am E Am Dm Am E Am
But whoever treasures freedom like the swallow has learned to fly
G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night
E Am G C Am
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
E Am E Am E Am E Am
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
