Daniel, Daniel and The Sacred Harp
Chorus:
G+G D MajorD
Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp
C majorC G+G
Dancing through the clover
C majorC B minorBm
Daniel Daniel would you mind
D7D7 G+G
If I look it over
Verse:
G+G C majorC D7D7 G+G
I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
G+G D MajorD C majorC G+G
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
D MajorD C majorC G+G
Are you one of the chosen few who will in the the procession
C majorC E minorEm
and Daniel said
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm D7D7
And related, I could never be the one
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm G+G
Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand
E minorEm A augmentedA
Three years waited patiently
D MajorD C majorC
till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
E minorEm A augmentedA D MajorD C majorC
He said there is thing I must ask but not a personal
B minorBm A minorAm
But wouldn't listen just grabbed harp
D7D7 G+G
And said take what you may need.
G+G C majorC D MajorD G+G
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied the harp it seemed to glow
C majorC D MajorD E minorEm
But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know
G+G D7D7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
C majorC G+G
And he said brother I'm in a bind
D7D7 C majorC G+G
But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in
jail
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
So to his father Daniel did run And he said oh father what have I done
C majorC B minorBm A minorAm
His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp
G+G
But you lost
E minorEm A augmentedA
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill
D MajorD C majorC
And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill
E minorEm A augmentedA
He played out his heart just time to pass
D MajorD C majorC G+G
But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast
Repeat Chorus
