Daniel And The Sacred Harp Chords
Chorus:
F C
Daniel, Daniel and the sacred harp,
Bb F
Dancing through the clover.
Bb Am
Daniel, Daniel would you mind,
C7 F
If I look it over.
Verse:
F Bb C7 F
I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town
Bb C Dm
But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around
F C Bb F
Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession.
C Bb F
Are you one of the chosen few who will march in the procession?
Bb Am
and Daniel said:
F C F C
The sacred harp was handed down, from father unto son,
Bb Am Gm C7
And me not being related, I could never be the one.
F C F C
So I saved up all my silver, and took it to a man,
Bb Am Gm F
Who said he could deliver the harp, straight into my hand.

Dm G
Three years I waited patiently,
C Bb
'Till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee.
Dm G
He said there is one more thing I must ask,
C Bb
But not of personal greed.
Am Gm
But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed the harp,
C7 F
And said take what you may need.
F Bb C F
Now Daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow.
Bb C Dm
But the price that Daniel had really paid, he did not even know.
F C7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind.
Bb F
And he said dear brother I'm in a bind.
C7
But the brother would not hear his tale,
Bb F
he said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail.
F C
So to his father Daniel did run,
F C
And he said oh father what have I done.
Bb Am Gm
His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp,
F
But you lost in sin.
Dm G
Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill,
C Bb
And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill.
Dm G
He played out his heart just the time to pass,
C Bb F
But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast.
