Dana, my darling, I'm writing  to you
            A                            Bm    
Cause your father passed away, it was a 
     F#m
beautiful day
      Bm                       F#m
And I don't want to bother you anymore
           A                        E
I used to hope you'd come back, but not anymore 
Dana

F#m                             E          F#m
My eyes might have betrayed me, but I have seen
      A                         Bm          F#m
Your picture on the cover of a filthy magazine
      Bm                          F#m
And I think my heart just cannot handle that
A                       E
Dana, my darling, would be so bad

F#m                    E         F#m
Dana, my darling, I'm writing to you
             A                          Bm     
'Cause Your mother passed away it was a rainy 
F#m
day

       Bm                       F#m
And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
            A                        E
Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers 
grave, Dana
     F#m                   E              F#m
Your father disowned you because you have sinned
A                            Bm             F#m
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
             Bm                      F#m
And I - you won't do those things anymore
A                   E
Dana My darling I'm waiting for

        F#m  A         D        E           
Little Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear, how I 
F#m       A        D
wish that Dana was here
       F#m    A     D          E     F#m     
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day, to travel
  A        D     D  A/C# Bm
 away, far away

Bm                         F#m     E         
No, you cannot surprise me anymore, I have 
      D          A  Bm  A/C#
seen it all before
Bm                     F#m        E
But it seems I cannot let you go, Dana, Dana, 
Dana, Dana

  F#m               E                 D    
And I think that I told you, I'd wait for you 
     F#m
forever
F#m                              E
Now I know someone else's holding you
             D                       C#    Bm
So, for the first time in my life - I must lie
Bm           A                   D           
Lie's a sin, mess that I aim in, love is not 
      E      F#m
the thing I feel now
Bm               A
