[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Daniel,
Daniel and [A]the sacred [F#m]harp
[G]Dancing [Em]through the clov[D]er
[G]Daniel, Daniel [D]would you mind
[A]If I look it over
[D]

[Verse 2]
I heard of this famous harp [G]years ago
Back in [A]my home [D]town
But I sure never thought old
[G]Daniel'd be the one
To come and [A]bring it around
[Bm]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Tell me Daniel [A]how the harp
[G]came into your posses[D]sion
Are you one of the [A]chosen few
Who will [G]march in the the procession
[D]

[Verse 4]
[G]
And [Bm]Daniel [D]said
The sacred harp was [A]handed down,
from [D]father unto [A]son
And [G]me not being re[D]lated,
[Bm]I could neve[E]r be t[A]he o[E]ne[A]
So [D]I saved up all my [A]silver
and [D]took it to a [A]man
Who [G]said he could deliv[Bm]er the
harp [E]straight into my hand
[D]

[Verse 5]
Three [Bm]years I waited pa[E]tiently
'Til he re[A]turned with the harp
from [G]the sea of Galilee
He [Bm]said there is one more
[E]thing I must ask
But [A]not of personal [G]greed
But [F#m]I wouldn't listen,
I just [Bm]grabbed the harp
And said, [A]"take what you may

[Interlude 1]
need"

[G][A][D]

[Verse 6]
Now [D]Daniel looked quite sat[G]isfied
And the harp it [A]seemed to [D]glow
But the price that Daniel had [G]really paid
He did [A]not even [Bm]know
[D]Back to his brother,
he [A]took his troubled mind
And he [G]said, "dear brother,
I'm [D]in a bind"
But the brother would not [A]hear his tale
He said [G]Old Daniel's gonna [D]land in jail
So to his father, [A]Daniel did run
And he [D]said, "oh father,
what [A]have I done?"
His [G]father said, "son, you've [D]given [Bm]in
You know you [E]won your harp
But you [D]lost in sin"

[Verse 7]
Then [Bm]Daniel took the harp and
went [E]high on the hill
And he [A]blew across the meadow
like a [G]whippoorwill
[Bm]He played out his heart
just [E]for time to pass
But as he [A]looked to the ground
He [Bm]no ticed, n[G]o shadow did

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 8]
[D]Daniel, Daniel and the [A]sac[F#m]red harp
[G]Dancing [Em]thro[G]ugh the clov[D]er
[G]Daniel, Daniel [D]would you mind
[A]If I look it over
