A minorAm  E7/BE7/B A minorAm    E7/BE7/B  A minorAm     DmDm     C majorC  E7/BE7/B A minorAm
On a wagon bound for market  there's a calf with a mournful eye
A minorAm  E7/BE7/B   A minorAm    E7/BE7/B  A minorAm     DmDm   A minorAm   E7E7 A minorAm
High above him there's a swallow  winging swiftly through the sky


  G+G         C majorC  A minorAm    G+G          C majorC  A minorAm
   All the winds are laughing, they laugh with all their might
  G+G          C majorC   E7/BE7/B A minorAm     E MajorE        A minorAm
   Love and laugh the whole day through and half the summers night

  E7E7        A minorAm   G+G         C majorC  A minorAm
  Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don
  E7E7        A minorAm   E7E7        A minorAm E7E7 A minorAm E7E7
  Donna Donna Donna Donna, Donna Donna Donna Don


"Stop complaining" said the farmer, "Who told you what had to be?
Why can?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
Why can't you have wings to fly with like the swallow you've learned to fly
