Caroline Herring - Donna Donna Chords

INTRO: Am  E  (4x)
 
Am   E     Am        E      Am
On a wagon bound for market 
          Dm          Am       E7
There's a calf with a mournful eye 
Am    E        Am        E       Am
High above him there's a swallow 
        Dm      E       E7  Am   G
Winging swiftly through the sky 


CHORUS 1:
                  C       ~ Am
How the winds are laughing 
     G                    C    ~ Am  G
They laugh with all their might 
                    C     ~   Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
    E        B7       Am    Am/C Am
And half the summer's night 


CHORUS 2:
E7          E  A11 Am     G                 C   ~ ~ Am
Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7          E  A11 Am     E           E7    Am E Am
Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don


Am      E         Am       E      Am
Stop complaining, said the farmer 
    Dm         Am      E7
Who told you a calf to be? 
Am        E        Am       E        Am
Why don't you have wings to fly with 
         Dm         E     E7  Am   G
Like the swallow so proud and free 


CHORUS 1:
                  C       ~ Am
How the winds are laughing 
     G                    C    ~ Am  G
They laugh with all their might 
                    C     ~   Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
    E        B7       Am    Am/C Am
And half the summer's night 


CHORUS 2:
E7          E  A11 Am     G                 C   ~ ~ Am
Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
E7          E  A11 Am     E              A11 Am E Am
Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna  Don


Am         E      Am        E           Am
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered 
      Dm          Am     E7
Never knowing the reason why 
Am     E    Am        E       Am
But whoever treasures freedom 
         Dm          E       E7 Am  G
Like the swallow has learned to fly 


CHORUS 1:
                  C       ~ Am
How the winds are laughing 
     G                    C    ~ Am  G
They laugh with all their might 
                    C     ~   Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
    E        B7       Am    Am/C Am
And half the summer's night

E7          E  A11 Am     G                 C   ~ ~ Am
Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don

Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna  Don


CHORUS 2:

Donna Donna Donna  Donna, Donna Donna Donna  Don
