                  D              G         D  
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,  
             A7  
That saved a wretch like me.  
  D                  G      D  
I once was lost, but now am found,  
               A7    D  
Was blind, but now I see.  
 
                           G        D  
Twas grace that thought my heart to fear,  
             A7         D  
and grace my fears released.                  
                      G       D                 A7      D  
How precious did that grace appear, the  hour I first believed.  
 
Solo  
 
 D#                        G#        D#  
When we've been there ten thousand years,  
         Cm           Bb7 Bb 
bright shining as the sun,  
      D#              G#         D#  
we've no less days to sing god's praise  
      Cm       Bb7    D#  
than when we first begun.  
 
                   G#         D#  
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,  
    Cm         Bb7  
That saved a wretch like me.  
  D#                  G#       D#  
I once was lost, but now am found,  
      Cm        Bb7    D# 
Was blind, but now I see.
