Amazing grace how sweet the sound 

                         G7 
That saved a wretch like me 
  
  C                 F       C 
I once was lost but now I'm found

Was blind but now I see  

  
                           F        C

And grace my fears relieved 
  
    C                 F      C 
How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed  

  
                     F         C 
Through many dangers toils and snares

We have already come  

   C                         F         C

And Grace will bring us home

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost but now I'm found 
  
              G7    C 
Was blind but now I see 


                        F        C 
We've all been here ten thousand years 
  
                        G7 
Bright shining like the sun 

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

             G7    C 
Than when we first begun  

  
C                 F         C 
Amazing grace how sweet the sound 

                         G7 
That saved a wretch like me 
  
  C                 F       C 
I once was lost but now I'm found  

              G7    C 
Was blind but now I see
