	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
