Dona, Dona
Joan Baez

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

CHORUS
G                  Am
How the winds are laughing
     G                    Am
They laugh with all their might
G                   Am
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
    Am       E        Am
And half the summer's night
G              Am      G              Am
Dona dona dona do-na - Dona dona dona doe
G              Am      Am        E    Am   E   Am    E
Dona dona dona do-na - Dona dona dona doe

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

REPEAT CHORUS

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

REPEAT CHORUS AND END ON Am
