     F                  Bb        F
Well, amazing grace, how sweet the sound
                        C
Which brings my joy back again
              F                                         Bb          Am
Sometimes I've worried so much, felt so lost, but then I always feel found
            Bb               Am                        C          F
And I should know by now that grace is something that's always within


F                         Bb       F
How sweet is the calm when grace descends
                         C
To banish my shame and my fear
             F                             Bb           Am
And the bitterness that I had is now gone away with your winds
                 Bb          Am             C      F
You've cheered me up now with cheer from ear now to ear

   F                  Bb           F
And amazing grace, how sweet is thy sound
                                   C
That brought my joy back home to me again
       F                                             Bb      Am
I often sit here worrying, I felt so lost you make me feel so found
        Bb               Am          C         F
I should know by now that grace is forever within

F                          Bb      F
I've already tasted of such fearlessness
                                     C
I've already tasted such freedom from shame
      F                  Bb    Am
I have tasted the flowing humbleness
              Bb      Am                C          F
I believe that it's in grace that I will someday remain


F                    Bb            F
And amazing grace how sweet is this sound
                       C
My joy is coming back again
      F                                    Bb          Am
I have worried and felt so lost, but then I always feel found
        Bb        Am                   Bb      Am
I should know that it's in grace I will someday remain
 Bb        Am       C          F
I know that grace is always within

Well, amazing grace, how sweet the sound
Which brings my joy back again
Sometimes I've worried so much, felt so lost, but then I always feel found
And I should know by now that grace is something that's always within

How sweet is the calm when grace descends
To banish my shame and my fear
And the bitterness that I had is now gone away with your winds
You've cheered me up now with cheer from ear now to ear

I have tasted the flowing humbleness
I believe that it's in grace that I will someday remain

And amazing grace how sweet is this sound
My joy is coming back again
I have worried and felt so lost, but then I always feel found
I should know that it's in grace I will someday remain
I know that grace is always within

   E               A          E                             B7
Amazing grace how sweet the sound That saved  a wretch like me
    E                A       E                 B7     E
I once was lost but now am found Was blind but now I see
E                           A         E                         B7
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved
       E               A      E                 B7       E
How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed
  E                     A         E                    B7
Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come

When we've been there ten thousand years Bright shining as the sun
 E                     A           E                  B7      E
We've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun

Am[D]azing Grace, how s[G]weet the s[D]ound,
That saved a wretch l[A7]ike me
I o[D]nce was l[D7]ost, but n[G]ow am fo[D]und,
Was b[Bm]lind, but n[A7]ow I s[D]ee

'Twas grace, that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come
'Tis grace hath brought me safe, thus far,
And grace will lead me home

When we've been there ten thousand years,
bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first begun

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see
