VERSE1:
 C                 F         C
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     C                   G 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  C        C7        F      C
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    Dm         G     C
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.


VERSE2:
      C                    F        C
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
    C                G
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED;
    C        C7       F       C
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    Dm     G       C
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        C             F          C
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  C            G
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     C          C7         F         C
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    Dm         G       C
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.


VERSE4:
    C                 F       C
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
    C              G
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
   C       C7         F       C
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   Dm      G      C
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.


VERSE5:
     C                   F           C
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
    C                 G
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE,
  C        C7      F        C
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  Dm      G       C
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.


VERSE6:
    C                   F          C
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
    C              G
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
    C        C7        F      C
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     Dm    G    C
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.


VERSE7:
     C                    F        C
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
       C              G
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN,
      C       C7      F          C
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     Dm        G       C
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
