[Verse 1]
Am   E     Am        E     Am          Dm  
On a wagon bound for market  there's a calf
       Am       E
with a mournful eye
Am      E        Am        E      Am      
 High above him there's a swallow  
 Dm      Am      E   Am
winging swiftly through the sky

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

E                 Am     E                 
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna 
Am E Am E

[Verse 2]
Am      E         Am       E     Am     
"Stop complaining" said the farmer  "Who 
    Dm    Am      E
told you a calf to be?
Am        E        Am       E       Am     
Why don't you have wings to fly with  like 
   Dm          Am    E   Am
the swallow, so proud and free?"

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

[Verse 3]
Am         E      Am        E           Am
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,  
     Dm          Am     E
never knowing the reason why
Am       E    Am        E       Am     
 But whoever treasures freedom like 
 Dm          Am      E  Am
the swallow has learned to fly

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

E                 Am     E                 
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna
