C

F

The world was too sore to live in Sad old ships A morning eclipse I spent my whole life guessing Then I turned from the sun And saw everyone searching

F

Bb

The hoot owl and his song will bring you along

C

Bb

F

Where else on earth would you wanna go?

F

Bb

We can leave all this hate before it's too late

C

Bb

F

Why would we wanna come back at all? Cobwebs on my pillow I'm found in the willow I'd spend my whole life sleeping To be called by noon Is to be called too soon today

The storm is passed There is peace at last I'll spend my whole life sleeping Now there's not a sound No one to be found anywhere The shepherd and his sheep will wind you to sleep Where else on earth would you wanna go? To a land of wonder when you go under Why would we want to come back at all?

When my day's work is done We can take in a jamboree But I just wanna sit down by the fire With my love right here beside me We've got time to kill Catskill, sweet by and by We've got all our love The sky above, the twinkle in your eye Now where the wheel might roll Is where my love and I shall go We're gonna plant the seed There ain't nothing we need, we found our own rainbow

Daniel Daniel and the sacred harp, dancing through the clover

C

Bm

D7

G

Daniel Daniel would you mind if I look it over?

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 possession

D

C

G

Are you one of the chosen few who will march in 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

D

C

He said there is one more thing I must ask but not a personal greed

Bm

Am

But I wouldn't listen I just grabbed that harp

D7

G

And said take what you may need

G

C

D

G

Now Daniel looked quite satisfied with the harp it seemed to glow

C

D

Em

But the price that Daniel had really paid he did not even know

G

D7

C

G

Back to his brother he took his troubled mind and he said dear brother I'm in a bind

D7

C

G

But the brother would not hear his tale he said Old Daniel's gonna land in jail

G

D

G

D

So to his father Daniel did run, and he said oh father what have I done?

C

Bm

Am

G

His father said son you've given in, you know you won your harp 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 whippoorwill

Em

A

He played out his heart just for time to pass

D

C

G

But as he looked to the ground he noticed no shadow did he cast

Repeat Chorus

Em

A

Now deep in the heart of a lonely kid

Em/g

D

C

/b

/d

Who suffered so much for what he did

Em

A

They gave this ploughboy his fortune and fame

Em/g

D

C

/b

/d

Since that day he ain't been the same

G

Am

See the man with the stage fright

F

/d

G

Just standin' up there to give it all his might

G

Am

And he got caught in the spotlight

F

But when we get to the end

D

G

He wants to start all over again I've got fire water right on my breath And the doctor warned me I might catch a death Said, "You can make it in your disguise Just never show the fear that's in your eyes" See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might And he got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again

F#m

Bm

Now if he says that he's afraid

C

D

G

Take him at his word

F#m

Bm

And for the price that the poor boy has paid

C

C#dim

D

Eb

Em

He gets to sing just like a bird, oh, ooh ooh ooh Your brow is sweatin' and your mouth gets dry Fancy people go driftin' by The moment of truth is right at hand Just one more nightmare you can stand See the man with the stage fright Just standin' up there to give it all his might And he got caught in the spotlight But when we get to the end He wants to start all over again

F

D

G

You wanna try it once again, hmm hmm Please don't make him stop, hmm hmm Let him take it from the top, hmm hmm Let him start all over again

D

C

Now when the rumor comes to your town

Bm

F#m

Bm

F#m

G

A

It grows and grows, where it started no one knows

D

G

C

D

Some of your neighbors will invite it right in

Bm

F#m

Bm

F#m

Maybe it's a lie, even if it's a sin

G

A

D

They'll repeat the rumor again

G

Gm

Em

A

D

Close your eyes, hang down your head

G

A

D

D7

Until the fog blows away, let it roll away

G

Gm

Em

A

D

Open up your arms and feel the good

G

A

A7

D

F

G

A7

D

F

G

A7

It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm Big men, little men turned into dust Maybe it was all in fun, they didn't mean to ruin no one Could there be someone, someone here among this crowd Who's been accused, had his name so misused And his privacy refused? Close your eyes, hang down your head Until the fog blows away, let it roll away Open up your arms and feel the good It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm Now all you vigilantes wanna make a move Maybe they won't, you know I sure hope they don't For whether this rumor proves true or false You can forgive or you can regret But he will never ever forget Close your eyes, hang down your head Until the fog blows away, let it roll away Open up your arms and feel the good It's a-comin', a brand new day, hmm hmm
