Amazing Grace Chords & Lyrics by Judy Collins
Amazing Grace
guitar chords lyrics
*Hi, This song was originally written by John Newton in 1779
But this version is ordinary sung a capella and is performed and transposed by Judy Collins.
(scuse my english i'm french ^^')
You can play it on guitar with the guitar tuned a half step below standard
tuning. Or play with barred and so play the chords a semitone below
So, without special tuning and with barred, the chords become:
E => D#
A => G#
B7 => A#7
E A E
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
B7
That saved a wretch like me.
E A E
I once was lost but now am found,
B7 E
Was blind, but now I see.
E A E
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
B7
And Grace, my fears relieved.
E A E
How precious did that Grace appear
B7 E
The hour I first believed.
E A E
Through many dangers, toils and snares
B7
I have already come;
E A E
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
B7 E
and Grace will lead me home.
E A E
The Lord has promised good to me.
B7
His word my hope secures.
E A E
He will my shield and portion be,
B7 E
As long as life endures.
E A E
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
B7
And mortal life shall cease,
E A E
I shall possess within the veil,
B7 E
A life of joy and peace.
E A E
When we've been here ten thousand years
B7
Bright shining as the sun.
E A E
We've no less days to sing God's praise
B7 E
Than when we've first begun.
Enjoy :)
