• Capo on 2nd

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
D MajorD         G+G
The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond
D MajorD              G+G
Rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
D MajorD           C majorC            G+G
Daddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dress
D MajorD                 G+G              D MajorD
Watched with pride, as I stood there in the water up to my chest
C majorC
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
C majorC            E minorEm   D MajorD     G+G
I sank my toes into that East Tennessee mud

Chorus:
D MajorD                 G+G
And it was down with the old man, up with the new
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
C majorC           E minorEm         G+G     D MajorD
I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
G+G               D MajorD                  G+G
But I felt like a new born baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord


Verse 2:
D MajorD       G+G
Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
D MajorD              G+G
There was glory in the air, there was dinner on the ground
D MajorD              C majorC             G+G
And my sins which were many, were washed away and gone
D MajorD              G+G             D MajorD
Along with a buffalo nickel I forgot to leave at home
C majorC                          D MajorD
But that seemed like such a small, small price to pay
C majorC                  E minorEm    D MajorD    G+G
For the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day


Chorus:
D MajorD                 G+G
And it was down with the old man, up with the new
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
C majorC           E minorEm         G+G     D MajorD
I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
G+G               D MajorD                  G+G
But I felt like a new born baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord


Bridge:
A minorAm             D MajorD      C majorC    D MajorD   G+G
This road is long and dusty, sometimes the soul must be cleansed
A minorAm          C majorC     D MajorD
And I long to feel that water, rushing over me again


Verse 3:
D MajorD                 G+G
And it was down with the old man, up with the new
E minorEm        D MajorD        G+G     D MajorD
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
C majorC           E minorEm         G+G     D MajorD
I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
G+G               D MajorD                  G+G
But I felt like a new born baby, cradled up in the arms of the Lord
