Band - Daniel & The Sacred Harp Lyrics
Chorus:G dDaniel, daniel and the sacred harp,C gDancing through the clover.C bmDaniel, daniel would you mind,D7 gIf I look it over.Verse:G c d7 gI heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home townC d emBut I sure never thought old daniel be the one to come and bring it aroundG d c gTell me daniel how the harp came into your posession.D c gAre you one of the chosen few who will march in the the procession?C emAnd daniel said:G d g dThe sacred harp was handed down, from father unto son,C bm am d7And me not being related, i could never be the one.G d g dSo I saved up all my silver, and took it to a man,C bm am gWho said he could deliver the harp, straight into my hand.Em aThree years I waited patiently,D ctill he returned with the harp from the sea of galilee.Em aHe said there is one more thing I must ask,D cBut not of personal greed.Bm amBut I wouldnt listen I just grabbed the harp,D7 gAnd said take what you may need.G c d gNow daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow.C d emBut the price that daniel had really paid, he did not even know.G d7Back to his brother he took his troubled mind.C gAnd he said dear brother Im in a bind.D7But the brother would not hear his tale,C gHe said old daniels gonna land in jail.G dSo to his father daniel did run,G dAnd he said oh father what have I done.C bm amHis father said son youve given in, you know you won your harp,GBut you lost in sin.Em aThen daniel took the harp and went high on the hill,D cAnd he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill.Em aHe played out his heart just the time to pass,D c gBut as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast.Repeat chorus
