Donna Donna Lyrics

Arr. Tohpati Tribute To Joan Baez

Bm F# Bm F# Bm
On a waggon bound for market
Em G F#
there`s a calf with a mournful eye.
Bm F# Bm F# Bm
High above him there`s a swallow,
Em G F# Bm
winging swiftly through the sky.

.::Chorus::.
A D
How the winds are laughing,
A D
they laugh with all their might.
A D C# Bm
Laugh and laugh the whole day through,
G F# Bm
and half the summer`s night.
A D
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
A D
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
A D
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna
G F# Bm
Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.

"Stop complaining!' said the farmer,
Who told you a calf to be ?
Why don`t you have wings to fly with,
like the swallow so proud and free?'
--->Chorus
C#m G#
C#m G# C#m

Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,
F#m A G#
never knowing the reason why.
C#m G#
C#m G# C#m

But whoever treasures freedom,
F#m A G# C#m
like the swallow has learned to fly
F#m A G# C#m
like the swallow has learned to fly
