Donna Donna - Aaron Zeitlin & Sholom Secunda

[Am] On a [E7] wagon [Am] bound for [E7] market [Am]
There's a [Dm] calf with a [Am] mournful [E7] eye
[Am] High [E7] above him [Am] there's a [E7] swallow
[Am] Winging [Dm] swiftly [E7] through the [Am] sky

[G] How the winds are [C] laughing,
[Am] They [G] laugh with all their [C] might [Am]
[G] Laugh and laugh the [C] whole day [Am] through
And [E7] half the summer's [Am] night
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [G] donna donna donna [C] don [Am]
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [E7] donna donna donna [Am] don

[Am] "Stop com[E7]plaining" [Am] said the [E7] farmer
[Am] "Who told [Dm] you a [Am] calf to [E7] be?
[Am] Why don't [E7] you have [Am] wings to [E7] fly with
[Am] Like the [Dm] swallow, so [E7] proud and [Am] free?"

[G] How the winds are [C] laughing,
[Am] They [G] laugh with all their [C] might [Am]
[G] Laugh and laugh the [C] whole day [Am] through
And [E7] half the summer's [Am] night
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [G] donna donna donna [C] don [Am]
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [E7] donna donna donna [Am] don

[Am] Calves are [E7] easily [Am] bound and [E7] slaughtered,
[Am] Nver [Dm] knowing the [Am] reason [E7] why
[Am] But who[E7]ever [Am] treasures [E7] freedom
[Am] Like the [Dm] swallow has [E7] learned to [Am] fly

[G] How the winds are [C] laughing,
[Am] They [G] laugh with all their [C] might [Am]
[G] Laugh and laugh the [C] whole day [Am] through
And [E7] half the summer's [Am] night
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [G] donna donna donna [C] don [Am]
[E7] Donna donna donna [Am] donna, [E7] donna donna donna [Am] don
