VERSE1:
 D                 G         D
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     D                   A 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  D        D7        G      D
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    Em         A     D
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.


VERSE2:
      D                    G        D
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
    D                A
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED;
    D        D7       G       D
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    Em     A       D
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        D             G          D
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  D            A
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     D          D7         G         D
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    Em         A       D
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.


VERSE4:
    D                 G       D
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
    D              A
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
   D       D7         G       D
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   Em      A      D
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.


VERSE5:
     D                   G           D
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
    D                 A
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE,
  D        D7      G        D
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  Em      A       D
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.


VERSE6:
    D                   G          D
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
    D              A
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
    D        D7        G      D
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     Em    A    D
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.


VERSE7:
     D                    G        D
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
       D              A
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN,
      D       D7      G          D
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     Em        A       D
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
