Band - Daniel And The Sacred Harp lyrics

Chorus: 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 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 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, and the harp it seemed to glow. C d em But the price that daniel had really paid, he did not even know. G d7 Back to his brother he took his troubled mind. C g And he said dear brother i'm in a bind. D7 But the brother would not hear his tale, C g He said old daniel's gonna land in jail. G d So to his father daniel did run, G d And he said oh father what have i done. C bm am His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp, G But you lost in sin. Em a Then daniel took the harp and went high on the hill, D c And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill. Em a He played out his heart just the time to pa**, D c g But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast. Repeat chorus
