🎸 Intro:

C majorC   C7C7    FF    C majorC               G7G7
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me


🎸 Verse 1:
     C majorC        FF         C majorC
Along the river by the road near a Mississippi town
                   G7G7
Was a place where my family loved to go
    C majorC                 FF
Was the church house with a steeple and was always filled with people
     C majorC         G7G7       C majorC
Cause the neighbors came from miles and miles around
               FF        C majorC
As a boy and as a man in the front row I would stand
                   G7G7
And raised my voice to God up in the sky
   C majorC                FF
Everybody joined the singing till the little church was ringing
   C majorC      G7G7        C majorC
With songs like In The Sweet By And By

🎸 Chorus:
          G7G7
In the sweet by and by
                C majorC
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
                 FF         C majorC
Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream it back again
              G7G7      C majorC
To the little church that's nestled in my mind

🎸 Verse 2:
                FF         C majorC
In the early part of May delta nights were hard to take
                  G7G7
So we opened up the windows and the doors
    C majorC                  FF       C majorC
The congregation's sat and fanned some with bibles in their hands
            G7G7         C majorC
Out into the night the words of God would pour

🎸 Solo:

Precious memories how they linger
FF           C majorC
How they ever flood my soul
         FF   C majorC
In the stillness of the midnight
     G7G7      C majorC
Precious sacred scenes unfold


🎸 Chorus:
          G7G7
In the sweet by and by
                C majorC
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
                 FF         C majorC
Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream me back again
              G7G7      FF C majorC
To the little church that's nestled in my mind
