[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.
