[Intro] Bm F# Bm F# [Verse 1]
Bm   F#    Bm        F#    Bm          Em          Bm       F#
On a wagon bound for market  there's a calf with a mournful eye

Bm      F#       Bm        F#     Bm        Em      Bm      F#  Bm
  High above him there's a swallow  winging swiftly through the sky
[Chorus]
A                  D        Bm     A                    D     Bm
 How the winds are laughing,  they laugh with all their might

A                    D         Bm          F#                Bm
 Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night

F#                Bm     A                 D   Bm
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don

F#                Bm     F#                Bm  F# Bm  F#
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
[Verse 2]
 Bm      F#        Bm       F#    Bm          Em    Bm      F#
"Stop complaining" said the farmer  "Who told you a calf to be?

Bm        F#       Bm       F#      Bm         Em          Bm    F#  Bm
Why don't you have wings to fly with  like the swallow, so proud and free?"
[Chorus]
A                  D        Bm     A                    D     Bm
 How the winds are laughing,  they laugh with all their might

A                    D         Bm          F#                Bm
 Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night

F#                Bm     A                 D   Bm
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don

F#                Bm     F#                Bm  F# Bm  F#
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
[Verse 3]
Bm         F#     Bm        F#          Bm      Em          Bm     F#
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered,  never knowing the reason why

Bm       F#   Bm        F#      Bm       Em          Bm      F# Bm
  But whoever treasures freedom like the swallow has learned to fly
[Chorus]
A                  D        Bm     A                    D     Bm
 How the winds are laughing,  they laugh with all their might

A                    D         Bm          F#                Bm
 Laugh and laugh the whole day through and half the summer's night

F#                Bm     A                 D   Bm
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don

F#                Bm     F#                Bm  F# Bm  F# Bm
Donna donna donna donna, donna donna donna don
