VERSE1:
 C#                F#        C#
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     C#                  G# 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  C#       C#7       F#     C#
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    Ebm        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#       C#7      F#      C#
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    Ebm    G#      C#
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        C#            F#         C#
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  C#           G#
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     C#         C#7        F#        C#
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    Ebm        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#      C#7        F#      C#
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   Ebm     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#       C#7     F#       C#
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  Ebm     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#       C#7       F#     C#
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     Ebm   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#      C#7     F#         C#
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     Ebm       G#      C#
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
