The Band - Daniel and the sacred harp

Da^Fniel, Daniel and the s^Cacred harp, Da^Bbncing through the clo^Fver. Da^Bbniel, Daniel wo^Amuld you mind, ^C7If I look it o^Fver.

I he^Fard of this famous harp ye^Bbars ago back in ^C7my home t^Fown But I sure never thought old Da^Bbniel be the one to come and ^Cbring it ^Dmaround T^Fell me Daniel h^Cow the harp c^Bbame into your pose^Fssion. Are you one of the ch^Cosen few who will ma^Bbrch in the process^Fion? ^Bband Da^Amniel said: T^Fhe sacred harp was han^Cded down, from f^Father unto ^Cson, And m^Bbe not being r^Amelated, I could^Gm never be the^C7 one. So I sa^Fved up all my si^Clver, and ^Ftook it to a ^Cman, Who sa^Bbid he could de^Amliver the harp, s^Gmtraight into my ^Fhand.

Three y^Dmears I waited patie^Gntly, 'Till he retu^Crned with the harp from the s^Bbea of Galilee. He said^Dm there is one more th^Ging I must ask, But n^Cot of personal g^Bbreed. But I ^Amwouldn't listen I just gr^Gmabbed the harp, And said t^C7ake what you may n^Feed.

Now Da^Fniel looked quite sati^Bbsfied, and the harp it se^Cemed to g^Flow. But the price that Daniel had rea^Bblly paid, he did not e^Cven k^Dmnow. B^Fack to his brother he t^C7ook his troubled mind. And he ^Bbsaid dear brother I'm ^Fin a bind. But the brother would not h^C7ear his tale, he said ^BbOld Daniel's gonna ^Fland in jail. ^FSo to his father Da^Cniel did run, And he ^Fsaid oh father what ^Chave I done. His fat^Bbher said son you've gi^Amven in, you know you w^Gmon your harp, But you l^Fost in sin.

Then Da^Dmniel took the harp and went h^Gigh on the hill, And he b^Clew across the meadow like a whi^Bbppoorwhill. He pl^Dmayed out his heart just the t^Gime to pass, But as he loo^Cked to the ground, he no^Bbticed no shadow did he c^Fast.
