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. 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 possession. 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. Chorus: 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. Now Daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow But the price that Daniel had really paid, he did not even know Back to his brother he took his troubled mind And he said dear brother I'm in a bind But the brother would not hear his tale He said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail So to his father Daniel did run And he said oh father what have I done His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp But you lost in sin Chorus: Then Daniel took the harp and went high on the hill And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill He played out his heart just the time to pass But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  A#  C  C7  Dm  F  G  Gm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
