Donna Donna Chords

(ver. 1)
Joan Baez
[Intro]

Am E Am E


[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

G                  C       Am
How the winds are laughing
      G                    C
They laugh with all their might
G                     C          Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
     E                 Am
And half the summer's night
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 G                 C
Donna Donna Donna Don
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 E                 Am      E Am E
Donna Donna Donna Don


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

G                  C       Am
How the winds are laughing
      G                    C
They laugh with all their might
G                     C          Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
     E                 Am
And half the summer's night
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 G                 C
Donna Donna Donna Don
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 E                 Am      E Am E
Donna Donna Donna Don


[Verse 3]

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


[Chorus]

G                  C       Am
How the winds are laughing
      G                    C
They laugh with all their might
G                     C          Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
     E                 Am
And half the summer's night
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 G                 C
Donna Donna Donna Don
 E                 Am
Donna Donna Donna Donna
 E                 Am      E Am E
Donna Donna Donna Don
