*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 E A E Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, B7 That saved a wretch like me. E A E I once was lost but now am found, B7 E Was blind, but now I see. E A E T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear. B7 And Grace, my fears relieved. E A E How precious did that Grace appear B7 E The hour I first believed. E A E Through many dangers, toils and snares B7 I have already come; E A E 'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far B7 E and Grace will lead me home. E A E The Lord has promised good to me. B7 His word my hope secures. E A E He will my shield and portion be, B7 E As long as life endures. E A E Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, B7 And mortal life shall cease, E A E I shall possess within the veil, B7 E A life of joy and peace. E A E When we've been here ten thousand years B7 Bright shining as the sun. E A E We've no less days to sing God's praise B7 E Than when we've first begun. Enjoy :)
