Am // E // Am E Am


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

E Am
Donna Donna Donna ..... Donna G AM
Donna Donna Donna Don
G Am
Donna Donna Donna ...... Donna
Am E Am E Am E Am
Donna Donna Donna Don

Am // E // Am E Am


verse 2
"Stop complaining" said the farmer,
"Who told you what had to be?
Why can’t you have wings to fly with,
Like the swallow, so proud and free?"

How the winds are laughing,
They laugh with all their might.
Love and laugh the whole day through
And, half the summer’s night.

chorus

Verse 3

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 I 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
