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
