Amazing Grace how sweet the sound  
                      F#m          D/A   
That saved a wretch like me    
   A            A/G      D             A                   
I once was lost but now I am found   
         D/A                   A 
Was blind but now I see    
                                          D/A        A                                                  
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear 
                      F#m      D/A   
And grace my fears relieved 
          A                A/G   D           A                   
How precious did that    grace appear 
        D/A               A 
The hour I first believed 
                                       D/A         A                                                  
Through many dangers, toils, and snares 
                          D/A   
I have already come 
        A              A/G            D           A                   
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far 
                         D/A      A 
And grace will lead me home

When we've been there ten thousand years 
                                    D/A   
Bright, shining as the sun 
                A     A/G     D              A                   
We've no less days to sing God's praise 
                         D/A     A 
Than when we first begun 
          A                      D/A         A                                                  
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound

I once was lost but now I am found   
         D/A                   A 
Was blind but now I see
