Amazing Grace Judy Collins
*Hi, This song was originally written by John Newton in 1779
But this version is ordinary sung a capella and is performed and transposed by Judy Collins.
(scuse my english i'm french ^^')
You can play it on guitar with the guitar tuned a half step below standard
tuning. Or play with barred and so play the chords a semitone below
So, without special tuning and with barred, the chords become:
E => D#
A => G#
B7 => A#7
A[E]mazing Grace, how [A]sweet the [E]sound,
That saved a wretch like [B7]me.
I [E]once was lost but [A]now am [E]found,
Was blind, but [B7]now I [E]see.
[E]T'was Grace that taught my [A]heart to [E]fear.
And Grace, my fears re[B7]lieved.
How [E]precious did that [A]Grace ap[E]pear
The hour I [B7]first be[E]lieved.
[E]Through many dangers, [A]toils and [E]snares
I have already [B7]come;
'Tis [E]Grace that brought me [A]safe thus [E]far
and Grace will [B7]lead me [E]home.
The [E]Lord has promised [A]good to [E]me.
His word my hope se[B7]cures.
He [E]will my shield and [A]portion [E]be,
As long as [B7]life en[E]dures.
[E]Yea, when this flesh and [A]heart shall [E]fail,
And mortal life shall [B7]cease,
I [E]shall possess with[A]in the [E]veil,
A life of [B7]joy and [E]peace.
[E]When we've been here ten [A]thousand [E]years
Bright shining as the [B7]sun.
[E]We've no less days to [A]sing God's [E]praise
Than when we've [B7]first be[E]gun.
Enjoy :)
