Daniel And The Sacred Harp

D[G]aniel Daniel and the sa[D]cred harp

D[C]ancing through the cl[G]over

D[C]aniel Daniel wo[Bm]uld you mind

I[D7]f I look it ove[G]r

I[G] heard of this famous harp [C]years ago  back in my [D7]home t[G]own

B[C]ut I sure never thought old Dan[D]iel be the[Em] one to come and bring it around

T[G]ell me Daniel ho[D]w the harp cam[C]e into your posessi[G]on

A[D]re you one of the cho[C]sen few who will    [G]
 
   in the the procession

an[C]d Daniel[Em] said

Th[G]e sacred harp was handed[D] down from father [G]unto son     [D]

  [C]<me not="" bein[Bm]g="">             [Am]                            [D7]                              [And]
    related,  I could never be the one

So [G]I saved up all my s[D]ilver and too[G]k it to a man   [D]

Who[C] said he could de[Bm]liver the harp strai[Am]ght into my hand   [G]

Thr[Em]ee years             [A]
    waited patiently
till he retu[D]rned with the harp from the s[C]ea of Galilee
He said[Em] there is            [A]                                [D]                                                [C]
    <one more="">
      thing I must ask but not a personal
     

But   [Bm]                                        [Am]
       wouldn't listen  just grabbed
        
          harp

And said [D7]take what you may need.    [G]

Now Danie[G]l looked quite satisfied       [C]                                        [D]                                                          [G]
         
           the harp it seemed to glow

But the pr[C]ice that Daniel had really paid[D] he did not eve[Em]n know

Back to hi[G]s brother he took his troubled mi[D7]nd

And he sai[C]d                            [G]
          
            brother I'm in a bind

But the bro[D7]ther would not hear his tale he s[C]aid Old Daniel's gonna land in [G]
jail

So to his f[G]ather Daniel did run   And he [D]said oh father what have I done   [G]                                  [D]

His father [C]said son you've given in you kno[Bm]w you won your harp             [Am]

But you los[G]t
           <in sin="">

Then Daniel [Em]took the harp and went high on the hill  [A]

And he blew [D]across the meadow like a whipperwhill       [C]

He played ou[Em]t his heart just                         [A]
            
              time to pass

But as he loo[D]ked to the ground he noticed no shad[C]ow did he cast                       [G]
