John Newton - Amazing Grace
From Happy Traum - Basic Theory That Every Guitarist Should Know Vol 2
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
D -- --- A7 -- --- That saved a wretch like me!
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- I once was lost, but now am found;
D -- A -- G -- D -- Was blind, but now I see.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
D -- --- A7 -- --- And grace my fears relieved;
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- How precious did that grace appear
D -- A -- G -- D -- The hour I first believed.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
D -- --- A7 -- --- I have already come;
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
D -- A -- G -- D -- And grace will lead me home.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- The Lord has promised good to me,
D -- --- A7 -- --- His Word my hope secures;
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- He will my Shield and Portion be,
D -- A -- G -- D -- As long as life endures.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
D -- --- A7 -- --- And mortal life shall cease,
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- I shall possess, within the veil,
D -- A -- G -- D -- A life of joy and peace.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
D -- --- A7 -- --- The sun forbear to shine;
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- But God, who called me here below,
D -- A -- G -- D -- Will be forever mine.
[Verse]
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
D -- --- A7 -- --- Bright shining as the sun,
D -- D7 -- G -- D -- We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
D -- A -- G -- D -- Than when we’d first begun.
