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  
 
  
                           F        C 
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear 
  
                     G7 
And grace my fears relieved 
  
    C                 F      C 
How precious did that grace appear 
  
           G7      C 
The hour I first believed  
 
  
                     F         C 
Through many dangers toils and snares  
 
                G7 
We have already come  
 
   C                         F         C 
It was Grace that brought us safe thus far  
 
               G7       C 
And Grace will bring us home 
 
  
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 
 
 
                        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
