Lyrics
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 march 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 me not being 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 I waited patiently D c 'Till he returned with the harp from the sea of galilee Em a He said there is one more thing I must ask D c But not of personal greed Bm am But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed the harp D7 g And said take what you may need
G c d g Now daniel looked quite satisfied, and 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 dear brother I'm in a bind D7 But the brother would not hear his tale C g He said old daniel's gonna land in jail G d So to his father daniel did run G d 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 in sin
Em a Then daniel took the harp and went high on the hill D c And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill Em a He played out his heart just the time to pass D c g But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast
