INTRO:
G#


VERSE1:
 G#                C#        G#
AMAZING GRACE! HOW SWEET THE SOUND
     G#                  Eb 
THAT SAVED A WRETCH LIKE ME!
  G#       G#7       C#     G#
I ONCE WAS LOST, BUT NOW AM FOUND;
    Bbm        Eb    G#
WAS BLIND, BUT NOW I SEE.


VERSE2:
      G#                   C#       G#
’TWAS GRACE THAT TAUGHT MY HEART TO FEAR,
    G#               Eb
AND GRACE MY FEARS RELIEVED;
    G#       G#7      C#      G#
HOW PRECIOUS DID THAT GRACE APPEAR
    Bbm    Eb      G#
THE HOUR I FIRST BELIEVED!


VERSE3:
        G#            C#         G#
THROUGH MANY DANGERS, TOILS AND SNARES,
  G#           Eb
I HAVE ALREADY COME;
     G#         G#7        C#        G#
’TIS GRACE HATH BROUGHT ME SAFE THUS FAR,
    Bbm        Eb      G#
AND GRACE WILL LEAD ME HOME.


VERSE4:
    G#                C#      G#
THE LORD HAS PROMISED GOOD TO ME,
    G#             Eb
HIS WORD MY HOPE SECURES;
   G#      G#7        C#      G#
HE WILL MY SHIELD AND PORTION BE,
   Bbm     Eb     G#
AS LONG AS LIFE ENDURES.


VERSE5:
     G#                  C#          G#
YEA, WHEN THIS FLESH AND HEART SHALL FAIL,
    G#                Eb
AND MORTAL LIFE SHALL CEASE,
  G#       G#7     C#       G#
I SHALL POSSESS, WITHIN THE VEIL,
  Bbm     Eb      G#
A LIFE OF JOY AND PEACE.


VERSE6:
    G#                  C#         G#
THE EARTH SHALL SOON DISSOLVE LIKE SNOW,
    G#             Eb
THE SUN FORBEAR TO SHINE;
    G#       G#7       C#     G#
BUT GOD, WHO CALLED ME HERE BELOW,
     Bbm   Eb   G#
WILL BE FOREVER MINE.


VERSE7:
     G#                   C#       G#
WHEN WE’VE BEEN THERE TEN THOUSAND YEARS,
       G#             Eb
BRIGHT SHINING AS THE SUN,
      G#      G#7     C#         G#
WE’VE NO LESS DAYS TO SING GOD’S PRAISE
     Bbm       Eb      G#
THAN WHEN WE’D FIRST BEGUN.
