Dan The Dancer Tab

49 views, added to favorites 1 time

There is an existing tab by "hannahmh237" which was correct in some portions but had numerous errors. There were errors in how many times notes were played, incorrect note placements, and just formatting issues. I corrected this tab to match the studio audio of "Dan The Dancer" from Mitski's "PUBERTY 2" (2016).Was this info helpful?

 Dan had very long limbs
 From leading day to day
 Hanging onto a cliff
 That stretched him everyday
 And when she'd ask to hold hands
 He would smile and
 Let one of his hands go
 His whole life in one hand
 His whole life
