Chorus
SOL RE
Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp
DO SOL
Dancing through the clover
DO SIm
Daniel Daniel would you mind
RE7 SOL
If I look it over
Verse:
SOL DO RE7 SOL
I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
DO RE MIm
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
SOL RE DO SOL
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession
RE DO SOL
Are you one of the chosen few who will in the the procession
DO MIm
and Daniel said
SOL RE SOL RE
The sacred harp was handed down from father unto son
DO SIm LAm RE7
And related, I could never be the one
SOL RE SOL RE
So I saved up all my silver and took it to a man
DO SIm LAm SOL
Who said he could deliver the harp straight into my hand
MIm LA
Three years RE DO
till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee
MIm LA RE DO
He said there is thing I must ask but not a personal
SIm LAm
But harp
RE7 SOL
And said take what you may need.
SOL DO RE SOL
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied the harp it seemed to glow
DO RE MIm
But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know
SOL RE7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind
DO SOL
And he said brother I'm in a bind
RE7 DO SOL
But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in
jail
SOL RE SOL RE
So to his father Daniel did run And he said oh father what have I done
DO SIm LAm
His father said son you've given in you know you won your harp
SOL
But you lost
MIm LA
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill
RE DO
And he blew across the meadow like a whipperwhill
MIm LA
He played out his heart just time to pass
RE DO SOL
But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast
