Am E Am E Am

[Verse 1]

Am E Am E Am F Am E Am

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 Am G Am

all the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might

G Am

love and laugh the whole day through

E Am

and half the summers night

[Chorus]

E Am

Donna Donna Donna ..... Donna

G Am

Donna Donna Donna Donna

[Verse 2]

Am E Am E Am F Am E Am

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why

Am E Am E Am Dm Am E Am

Why can't you have wings to fly with like the swallow I've learned to fly

G Am G Am

all the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might

G Am

love and laugh the whole day through

E Am

and half the summers night
