VERSE1:
 B                 E         B
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     B                   F# 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  B        B7        E      B
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    C#m        F#    B
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.


VERSE2:
      B                    E        B
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
    B                F#
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED;
    B        B7       E       B
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    C#m    F#      B
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        B             E          B
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  B            F#
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     B          B7         E         B
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    C#m        F#      B
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.

    B                 E       B
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
    B              F#
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
   B       B7         E       B
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   C#m     F#     B
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.


VERSE5:
     B                   E           B
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
    B                 F#
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE,
  B        B7      E        B
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  C#m     F#      B
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.


VERSE6:
    B                   E          B
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
    B              F#
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
    B        B7        E      B
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     C#m   F#   B
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.


VERSE7:
     B                    E        B
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
       B              F#
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN,
      B       B7      E          B
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     C#m       F#      B
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
