        Daniel, Daniel and The Sacred Harp


Chorus:
  F                     G
Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp
  F                   F
Dancing through the clover
  F             Dm
Daniel Daniel would you mind
G7            F
If I look it over


Verse:
    F                         F                    G7   F
I heard of this famous harp years ago  back in my home town
                               F                             G        Dm
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
 F              G            F                 F
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
                     G                   F                  F
Are you one of the chosen few who will  in the the procession
F     Dm
and Daniel said
 F                     G               F          G
The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son
     F            Dm              Dm           G7
And  related,  I could never be the one
       F               G         F            G
So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man
      F             Dm               Dm              F
Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand

       Dm                D
Three years  waited patiently
            G                            F
till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
       Dm                   D                   G               F
He said there is  thing I must ask but not a personal 
      Dm                             Dm
But  wouldn't listen  just grabbed  harp
          G7                F
And said take what you may need.

      F                     F                       G        F
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied  the harp it seemed to glow
                                 F                    G    Dm
But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know
 F                      G7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
        F                  F
And he said  brother I'm in a bind
                           G7                    F                   F
But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in
jail

F                  G                      F                   G
So to his father Daniel did run   And he said oh father what have I done
       F                    Dm                   Dm
His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp
         F
But you lost 

       Dm                           D
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill
        G                               F
And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill
     Dm                           D
He played out his heart just  time to pass
             G                      F                       F
But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast


Repeat Chorus
