Daniel, Daniel and The Sacred Harp

Chorus:

G D

Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp

C G

Dancing through the clover

C Bm

Daniel Daniel would you mind

D7 G

If I look it over

Verse:

G C D7 G

I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town

C D Em

But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around

G D C G

Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession

D C G

Are you one of the chosen few who will in the the procession

C Em

and Daniel said

G D G D

The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son

C Bm Am D7

And related, I could never be the one

G D G D

So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man

C Bm Am G

Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand

Em A

Three years waited patiently

D C

till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee

Em A D C

He said there is thing I must ask but not a personal

Bm Am

But wouldn't listen just grabbed harp

D7 G

And said take what you may need.

G C D G

Now Daniel looked quite satisfied the harp it seemed to glow

C D Em

But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know

G D7

Back to his brother he took his troubled mind

C G

And he said brother I'm in a bind

D7 C G

But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in

jail

G D G D

So to his father Daniel did run And he said oh father what have I done

C Bm Am

His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp

G

But you lost

Em A

Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill

D C

And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill

Em A

He played out his heart just time to pass

D C G

But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast

Repeat Chorus
