Amazing grace
How Fsweet the sound
That Amsaved a A#wretch like Cme
I was once lost
But Fnow am found
Was Amblind but A#now I Csee
'Tis grace that taught
My Fheart to fear
And Amgrace my A#fears reClieved
How precious did that Fgrace appear
The Amhour I A#first beClieved
Through many dangers, Ftoils and snares
I Amhave alA#ready Cgone
'Tis grace that brought me Fsafe this far
And Amgrace will A#lead me Chome
When we've been there
Ten Fthousand years
Bright Amshining A#as the Csun
We've no less days to Fsing god's praise
Than Amwhen we'd A#first beCgun
Amazing grace
How Fsweet the sound
That Amsaved a A#wretch like Cme
I was once lost but Fnow am found
Was Amblind but A#now I Csee

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

Am A# C

That saved a wretch like me

I was once lost

But now am found

Am A# C

Was blind but now I see

'Tis grace that taught

My heart to fear

Am A# C

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

Am A# C

The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares

Am A# C

I have already gone

'Tis grace that brought me safe this far

Am A# C

And grace will lead me home

When we've been there

Ten thousand years

Am A# C

Bright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing god's praise

Am A# C

Than when we'd first begun

Amazing grace

How sweet the sound

Am A# C

That saved a wretch like me

I was once lost but now am found

Am A# C

Was blind but now I see
