LYRICS:
_______________________________________________________________________
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.
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 rainy day
And I didn't mean to bother you anymore
Your mother wished: Come visit your fathers grave, Dana
Your father disowned you because you have sinned
But he did forgive you in condition he was in
And I - you won't do those things anymore
Dana My darling I'm waiting for
Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, far away
No, you cannot surprise me anymore
I have seen it all before
But it seems I cannot let you go
Anyhow, Dana, Dana, Dana, Dana
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 aim in,
Love is not the thing I feel now
I promise you: I won't write again
'til the sun sets behind your grave
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
Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, far away
Little O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, far away
Dana O'Hara oh, Dana my dear,
How I wish that Dana was here
Little Dana O'Hara decided one day
To travel away, far away

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP, representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are "hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the official SONATA ARCTICA tablature which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route. These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the NY Times Article. We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
