Misc Mashups – The Animals - Traditional - House Of Amazing Grace (Guitar)

Am       C       D            F
There is a house in New Orleans

Am        C   E      E
They call the Risin' Sun

Am            C        D               F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.

Am       E      Am  E
And God, I know I'm one.

Am       C       D            F
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

Am        C   E      E
That saved a wretch like me.

Am      C        D          F
I once was lost, but now am found,

Am       E      Am  E
Was blind, but now I see.

Am       C       D            F
My mother was a tailor.

Am        C   E      E
She sewed my new blue jeans.

Am        C     D     F
My father was a gamblin' man

Am       E      Am  E
Down in New Or-leans.

Am       C       D            F
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

Am        C   E      E
And grace my fears relieved.

Am            C        D          F
How precious did that grace appear

Am       E      Am  E
The hour I first believed.

Am       C       D            F
Now, the only thing a gambler needs

Am        C   E      E
Is a suitcase and a trunk

Am      C    D               F
And the only time that he's satisfied

Am       E      Am  E
Is when he's on a drunk

Am       C       D            F
Through many dangers, toils and snares

Am        C   E      E
I have already come;

Am         C        D          F
'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far

Am       E      Am  E
And grace will lead me home.

Am       C       D            F
Oh, Mother, tell your children

Am        C   E      E
Not to do what I have done.

Am        C      D          F
Spend your lives in sin and misery

Am       E      Am  E
In the house of the risin' sun.

Am       C       D            F
The Lord has promised good to me

Am        C   E      E
His word my hope secures;

Am      C        D          F
He will my shield and portion be,

Am       E      Am  E
As long as life endures.

Am       C       D            F
Well, I've got one foot on the platform.

Am        C   E      E
the other foot on the train.

Am        C    D       F
I'm goin' back to New Orleans

Am       E      Am    E
To wear that ball and chain.

Am       C       D            F
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

Am        C   E      E
And mortal life shall cease,

Am      C        D          F
I shall possess within the veil,

Am       E      Am  E
A life of joy and peace.

Am       C       D            F
Well, there is a house in New Orleans

Am        C   E      E
They call the Risin' Sun

Am            C        D               F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy.

Am       E      Am       E
And God, I know I'm one.

Am       C       D            F
When we've been there ten thousand years

Am        C   E      E
Bright shining as the sun,

Am      C        D          F
We've no less days to sing God's praise

Am       E      Am  E
Than when we've first begun.
