Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you
            G                           C          Em
Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day
      Am                        Em
And I don't want to bother You anymore
          G
I used to hope you'd come back
    D
But not anymore Dana

   Em                               D      Em
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
     G                          C         Em
your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
      Am                         Em
And I think my heart just cannot handle that
G                       D          C C5 C5 C6
Dana, my darling, would be so bad.

Em                   D         Em
Dana my darling I'm writing to you
            G                           C           Em
Cause your mother passed away it was a really rainy day
      Am                        Em
And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
Em          G                        D
Your mother wished: Come visit your father's grave, Dana

     Em                   D              Em
Your father disowned you 'cause you have sinned
G                             C            Em
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
      Am                             Em
And I hope you won't do those things anymore
G                    D
Dana My darling I'm waiting for

       Em     G        C       D
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear
      Em           G        C
How I wish that my Dana was here
       Em     G       C        D
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
    Em     G          C
To travel away, far away


Am                         Em           C
  No, you can't surprise me anymore  oh-oh!
  C            G
  I've seen it all before
Am                      Em
  But it seems I cannot let you go
  D     D     D     D
  Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana

Dm                    C       A#                  Dm
  And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you forever
                               C
  Now I think someone else is holding you,
               A#                         C
  so, for the first time in my life - I must

Gm              F
  Lie's a sin, mess that I am in
A#                 C       Dm
  Love is not the thing I feel now
Gm                  F                          A#
  I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets
    C         Em
Behind your grave
