Donna Donna Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Joan Baez
Dm  A7/E  


[Verse]

Dm   A7/E  Dm        A7/E    Dm         Gm          F   A7/E Dm    
On a wagon bound for market   there's a calf with a mournful eye
Dm    A7/E     Dm        A7/E    Dm         Gm      Dm      A7  Dm
High above him there's a swallow    winging swiftly through the sky


[Chorus]

    C                  F    Dm        C                    F    Dm     
     How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
    C                    F     A7/E Dm         A                Dm
     Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night

    A7                Dm     C                 F   Dm
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
    A7                Dm     A7                Dm  A7  Dm  A7
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don


[Verse]

Dm   A7/E  Dm        A7/E    Dm         Gm          F   A7/E Dm
"Stop complaining" said the farmer, "Who told you what had to be?
Dm       A7/E       Dm        A7/E    Dm         Gm      Dm      A7   Dm
Why don't you have wings to fly with, like the swallow, so proud and free?"


[Chorus]

    C                  F    Dm        C                    F    Dm     
     How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
    C                    F     A7/E Dm         A                Dm
     Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night

    A7                Dm     C                 F   Dm
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
    A7                Dm     A7                Dm  A7  Dm  A7
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
   

[Verse]

Dm    A7/E   Dm        A7/E    Dm         Gm           F    A7/E  Dm
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered never knowing the reason why
Dm    A7/E     Dm        A7/E    Dm      Gm       Dm      A7   Dm
But whoever treasures freedom like the swallow has learned to fly


[Chorus]

     C                  F    Dm        C                    F    Dm     
     How the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
    C                    F     A7/E Dm         A                Dm
     Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night

    A7                Dm     C                 F   Dm
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
    A7                Dm     A7                Dm  A7  Dm  A7
    Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
