Daniel and the sacred harp

Band



Marc
Daniel and The Sacred Harp
Chorus:
 GD
Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp
 CG
Dancing through the clover
 CBm
Daniel Daniel would you mind
 D7G
 If I look it over
Verse:
 GCD7G
I heard of this famous harp years ago  back in my home town
 CDEm
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
 GDCG
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
 DCG
Are you one of the chosen few who will dance in the the procession
 CEm
 and Daniel said
 GDGD
The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son
 CBmAmD7
And need not be related  I could never be the one
 GDGD
So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man
 CBmAmG
Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand
 EmA
Three years he waited patiently
 DC
till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
 EmADC
He said there is just one thing I must ask but not a personal grief
 BmAm
But Daniel wouldn't listen he just grabbed the harp
 D7G
And said take what you may need.
 GCDG
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied and the harp it seemed to glow
 CDEm
But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know
 GD7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
 CG
And he said oh brother I'm in a bind
 D7CG
But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail
 GDGD
 So to his father Daniel did run   And he said oh father what have I done
 CBmAm
His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp
 G
But you lost ???   ???
 EmA
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill
 DC
And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill
 EmA
He played out his heart just the time to pass
 DCG
But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast
Repeat Chorus
