Chord Daniel And The Sacred Harp by The Band

chorus : F C daniel , daniel and the sacred harp , A# F dancing through the clover . A# Am daniel , daniel would you mind , C7 F if i look it over . verse : F A# C7 F i heard of this famous harp years ago back in my home town A# C Dm but i sure never thought old daniel be the one to come and bring it around F C A# F tell me daniel how the harp came into your posession . C A# F are you one of the chosen few who will march in the procession? A# Am and daniel said : F C F C the sacred harp was handed down , from father unto son , A# 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 , A# Am Gm F who said he could deliver the harp , straight into my hand . Dm G three years i waited patiently , C A# ’till he returned with the harp from the sea of galilee . Dm G he said there is one more thing i must ask , C A# 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 A# C F now daniel looked quite satisfied , and the harp it seemed to glow . A# 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 . A# F and he said dear brother i’m in a bind . C7 but the brother would not hear his tale , A# 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 . A# 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 A# and he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill . Dm G he played out his heart just the time to pass , C A# F but as he looked to the ground , he noticed no shadow did he cast . repeat chorus
