Chords

*Hi, this song was originally written by John Newton in 1779. But this version is ordinary sung a capella and is performed and transposed by Judy Collins. You can play it on guitar with the guitar tuned a half step below standard So, without special tuning and barred, the chords become: E => D# A => G# B7 => A#7 [Chorus]
 E                 A         E
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

                         B7
That saved a wretch like me.

  E        E7       A      E
I once was lost but now am found,

               B7    E
Was blind, but now I see.
[Verse 1]
E                          A        E
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.

                      B7
And Grace, my fears relieved.

    E        E7       A       E
How precious did that Grace appear

           B7      E
The hour I first believed.
[Verse 2]
E                     A         E
Through many dangers, toils and snares

               B7
I have already come;

     E          E7         A         E
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far

               B7      E
and Grace will lead me home.
[Chorus]
 E                 A         E
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

                         B7
That saved a wretch like me.

  E        E7       A      E
I once was lost but now am found,

               B7    E
Was blind, but now I see.
[Verse 3]
    E                 A       E
The Lord has promised good to me.

                   B7
His word my hope secures.

   E       E7         A       E
He will my shield and portion be,

           B7     E
As long as life endures.
[Verse 4]
E                        A           E
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

                      B7
And mortal life shall cease,

  E         E7      A      E
I shall possess within the veil,

          B7      E
A life of joy and peace.
[Verse 5]
E                        A        E
When we've been here ten thousand years

                      B7
Bright shining as the sun.

E             E7      A          E
We've no less days to sing God's praise

                B7      E
Than when we've first begun.
[Chorus]
 E                 A         E
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,

                         B7
That saved a wretch like me.

  E        E7       A      E
I once was lost but now am found,

               B7    E
Was blind, but now I see.
