About Follow the Prophet#
Follow the Prophet is a Primary song from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its verses each take up a prophet from the Old Testament. It was one of the first church songs I learned. It has a catchy tune, and I think it sounds great on the 12-hole ocarina.
It is not a first-week tune, though. The melody leans hard on sharps, with D sharp, F sharp and G sharp all in play, plus high D sharp. The lowest note, that D sharp, means closing one of the small sub-holes, and high D sharp and high E open the thumb holes, so the tab covers a wide stretch of the instrument. Learn the sharp fingerings on their own first, then put the song together.
Follow the Prophet Lyrics#
Ad-am was a proph-et first one that we know.
In a place called Ed-en, he helped things to gro-w.
Ad -am served the Lord by fol-low-ing his ways.
We are his descendants in the lat-ter days.
chorus:
Fol-low the proph-et, fol-low the proph-et,
fol-low the proph-et, Fol-low the proph-et; he knows the way.
