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 cd7 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 wouldnt listen I just grabbed the harp,
D7 g
And said take what you may need.
G c d g
Now daniel looked quite satisfied, and the harp it seemed to glow.
C d em
But the price that daniel had really paid, he did not even know.
G d7
Back to his brother he took his troubled mind.
C g
And he said dear brother Im in a bind.
D7
But the brother would not hear his tale,
C g
He said old daniels gonna land in jail.
G d
So to his father daniel did run,
G d
And he said oh father what have I done.
C bm am
His father said son youve given in, you know you won your harp,
G
But you lost in sin.
Em a
Then daniel took the harp and went high on the hill,
D c
And he blew across the meadow like a whippoorwhill.
Em a
He played out his heart just the time to pass,
D c g
But as he looked to the ground, he noticed no shadow did he cast.

The Band è stato un gruppo rock canadese-statunitense formatosi a Toronto nel 1967 e scioltosi nel 1976 per poi riformarsi nel 1983 fino al 1999. La formazione originale comprendeva Robbie Robertson (chitarra), Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Rick Danko e Levon Helm. Considerati uno dei gruppi più influenti della musica rock americana, The Band ha raggiunto la fama negli anni '70 grazie a un sound folk-rock caratterizzato da arrangiamenti orchestrali complessi e testi poetici. Il loro album di debutto, *Music from Big Pink* (1968), è considerato un classico del genere e ha contribuito a definire il suono della musica americana degli anni '70. Tra i brani più rappresentativi di The Band ricordiamo "The Weight", "Up on Cripple Creek" e "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". La band ha collaborato con numerosi artisti, tra cui Bob Dylan, con cui hanno suonato in tour negli anni '60 e '70. La morte di Richard Manuel nel 1980 e di Levon Helm nel 2012 hanno segnato la fine di un'epoca per The Band.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
