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 D7 G

I heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town

C D Em

But I sure never thought old Daniel be the one to come and bring it around

G D C G

Tell me Daniel how the harp came into your posession.

D C G

Are you one of the chosen few who will march in the procession?

C Em



and Daniel said:

G D G D

The sacred harp was handed down, from father unto son,

C Bm Am D7

And me not being related, I could never be the one.

G D G D

So I saved up all my silver, and took it to a man,

C Bm Am G

Who said he could deliver the harp, straight into my hand.



Em A

Three years I waited patiently,

D C

'Till he returned with the harp from the sea of Galilee.

Em A

He said there is one more thing I must ask,

D C

But not of personal greed.

Bm Am

But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed the harp,

D7 G

And said take what you may need.



G C D G

Now Daniel looked quite satisfied
