VERSE1:
 G                 C         G
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     G                   D 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  G        G7        C      G
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    Am         D     G
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.


VERSE2:
      G                    C        G
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
    G                D
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED;
    G        G7       C       G
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    Am     D       G
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        G             C          G
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  G            D
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     G          G7         C         G
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    Am         D       G
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.

    G                 C       G
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
    G              D
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
   G       G7         C       G
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   Am      D      G
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.


VERSE5:
     G                   C           G
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
    G                 D
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE,
  G        G7      C        G
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  Am      D       G
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.


VERSE6:
    G                   C          G
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
    G              D
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
    G        G7        C      G
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     Am    D    G
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.


VERSE7:
     G                    C        G
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
       G              D
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN,
      G       G7      C          G
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     Am        D       G
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
