Daniel Daniel And The Sacred Harp

  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   
I heard of this famous harp years 
                 D7   G
ago  back in my home town
                               C   
But I sure never thought old Daniel
                          D     
 be the one to come and bring it 
   Em
around
 G              D            C   
Tell me Daniel how the harp came 
              G
into your posession
                     D           
Are you one of the chosen few who 
        C                  G
will  in the the procession
C     Em
and Daniel said
 G                     D          
The sacred harp was handed down 
     G          D
from father unto son
     C            Bm              
And  related,  I 
Am           D7
could never be the one
       G               D         
So I saved up all my silver and 
G            D
took it to a man
Continúa después del anuncio
      C             Bm            
Who said he could deliver the harp
   Am              G
 straight into my hand

       Em                A
Three years  waited patiently
            D                      
till he returned with the harp from
      C
 the sea of Galilee
       Em                   A     
He said there is  thing 
              D               C
I must ask but not a personal 
      Bm                        
But  wouldn't listen  just 
     Am
grabbed  harp
          D7                G
And said take what you may need.

      G                     C     
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied 
                  D        G
 the harp it seemed to glow
                                 C 
But the price that Daniel had 
                   D    Em
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      
But the brother would not hear his 
              C                   
tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land
G
 in
jail

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

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