Tono: A
Introducción:
Am E Am E
On a wagon bound for market,
Am Dm Am E
There's a calf with a mournful eye.
Am E Am E
High above him there's a swallow,
Am Dm Am E Am
Winging swiftly through the sky.
G C Am
How the winds are laughing,
G C
They laugh with all their might.
G C Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
E Am
And half the summer's night. (Dona, dona)
E Am
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona,
G C
Dona, Dona, Dona, doe.
E Am
Dona, Dona, Dona, Dona,
E Am
Dona, Dona, Dona, doe.
Am E Am E
"Stop complaining!" said the farmer,
Am Dm Am E
"Who told you a calf to be?
Am E Am E
Why don't you have wings to fly with,
Am Dm Am E Am
Like the swallow so proud and free?"
Am E Am E
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Am Dm Am E
Never knowing the reason why.
Am E Am E
But whoever treasures freedom,
Am Dm Am E Am
Like the swallow has learned to fly
Chorus
