Am E7/B
[Verse 1]Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm C E7/B Am
On a wagon bound for market there's a calf with a mournful eye
Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm Am E7 Am
High above him there's a swallow winging swiftly through the sky
[Chorus]G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C E7/B Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night
E7 Am G C Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am E7
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
[Verse 2] Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm C E7/B Am
"Stop complaining" said the farmer, "Who told you a calf to be?
Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm Am E7 Am
Why don't you have wings to fly with, like the swallow, so proud and free?"
[Chorus]G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C E7/B Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night
E7 Am G C Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am E7
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
[Verse 3]Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm C E7/B Am
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why
Am E7/B Am E7/B Am Dm Am E7 Am
But whoever treasures freedom like the swallow has learned to fly
[Outro/Chorus]G C Am G C Am
How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
G C E7/B Am E Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night
E7 Am G C Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am E7 Am
