[Intro]
C C7 F C G7
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me
[Verse 1]
C F C
Along the river by the road near a Mississippi town
G7
Was a place where my family loved to go
C F
Was the church house with a steeple and was always filled with people
C G7 C
Cause the neighbors came from miles and miles around
F C
As a boy and as a man in the front row I would stand
G7
And raised my voice to God up in the sky
C F
Everybody joined the singing till the little church was ringing
C G7 C
With songs like In The Sweet By And By
[Chorus]
G7
In the sweet by and by
C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
F C
Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream it back again
G7 C
To the little church that's nestled in my mind
[Verse 2]
F C
In the early part of May delta nights were hard to take
G7
So we opened up the windows and the doors
C F C
The congregation's sat and fanned some with bibles in their hands
G7 C
Out into the night the words of God would pour
[Solo]
Precious memories how they linger
F C
How they ever flood my soul
F C
In the stillness of the midnight
G7 C
Precious sacred scenes unfold
[Chorus]
