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

   Em                 Em            D      Em 
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen 
     G              G           C         Em 
your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine 
      C               C          Em         Em 
And I think my heart just cannot handle that 
G         G             D      D   C C5  C6/9       
Dana, my darling, would be so bad.

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

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


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



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


Dm       Dm           C     C A#   A#             Dm    Dm 
  And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you forever 
Dm            Dm               C          
  Now I think someone else is holding you, 
C              A#           A#     A# A#       
  so, for the first time in my life - I must 
Gm        Gm    F             F 
  Lie's a sin, mess that I am in, 
A#        A#       C       Dm 
  Love is not the thing I feel now 
Gm           Gm     F            F             A# 
  I promise you: I won't write again 'til the sun sets 
     Dm        Em 
  behind your grave
