Donna Donna Tab uke di Joan Baez

Am  E7

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

Chorus:

G                                 C                   
How the winds are laughing, 
G                                   C               
they laugh with all their might
G                                  C     G     C
Laugh and laugh the whole day through 
Am            E7                   Am
and half the summers night

 E7                                  Am       
Donna Donna Donna Donna, 
G                                 C
Donna Donna Donna Don
 E7                                Am    
Donna Donna Donna Donna, 
 E7                              Am   E7  Am  
Donna Donna Donna Don


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


    chorus


Calves are easily bound and slaughtered 
never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom 
like the swallow has learned to fly


    chorus
