c-paddy:

5 3 -3 4 -4    5 3 -3 4 -4
in a waggon bound for market
"Stop complaining!“ said the farmer,
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered, 

5 3 -5 5 -4 4 -4 5
there`s a calf with a mournful eye.
Who told you a calf to be ?
never knowing the reason why. 

5 3 -3 4 -4    5 3 -3 4 -4
High above him there`s a swallow,
Why don`t you have wings to fly with,
But who ever treasures freedom, 

5 3 -5 4 -3 3 -2 2
winging swiftly through the sky.
like the swallow so proud and free?“ + Chorus
like the swallow has learned to fly. + Chorus 

6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4
How the winds are laughing, 

-4 -4 -4 6 -5 5
they laugh with all their might.

6 6 6 -5 5 -4 4
Laugh and laugh the whole day through, 

-4 5 -4 4 -3 3
and half the summer`s night.

-3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -4 4 -4 5    -4 -4 -4 -4 6 -5 5
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.

-3 -3 -3 -3 -4 -4 4 -4 5    5 -3 4 -4 4 -3 3
Donna, Donna, Donna, Donna; Donna, Donna, Donna, Don.
