Standard (EADGBE)

Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you.

Cause your father passed away, it was a beautiful day

And I don't want to bother You anymore,

I used to hope you'd come back

But not anymore Dana.

Same chords through the verses.

My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen

your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine

And I think my heart just cannot handle that

Dana, my darling, would be so bad.

Dana my darling I'm writing to you

Cause your mother passed away it was a really rainy day

And I didn't mean to bother you anymore

Your mother wished: Come visit your father's grave, Dana

Your father disowned you 'cause you have sinned

But he did forgive you in condition he was in

And I hope you won't do those things anymore

Dana My darling I'm waiting for

Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,

How I wish that my Dana was here

Little Dana O'Hara decided one day

to travel away, faraway

No, you can't surprise me anymore

I've seen it all before

But it seems I cannot let you go

And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you forever

Now I know someone else's holding you,

so, for the first time in my life - I must lie

Lie's a sin, mess that I am in,

Love is not the thing I feel now

I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets

behind your grave

Same chords as the verse

Dana, oh, Dana I'm writing to you

I heard you passed away, it was a beautiful day

I'm old and I feel time will come for me

My diary's pages are full of thee

Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,

How I wish that my Dana was here

Little Dana O'Hara decided one day

to travel away, faraway

Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,

How I wish that my Dana was here

Little Dana O'Hara decided one day

to travel away, faraway

Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,

How I wish that my Dana was here

Little Dana O'Hara decided one day

to travel away, faraway
