Key of E
Capo on 2nd fret  
  
  
D           Bm        G              A  
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond  
D                     Bm           G              A  
  Rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond  
Bm           A         G                   D/F#  
Daddy in his good hat, momma in her Sunday dress  
G                       D/F#  
Watched with pride as I stood there   
       G        A     D  
in the water up to my chest  
  
        C                G                   D  
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood  
G              D/F#          Em             Asus A  
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud  
  
            D             F#m  
Then it was down with the old man,  
G           D  
 Up with the new  
G           D/F#               Em        Asus A  
  Raised to walk in the way of light and truth  
Bm              G  
I didn't see no angels  
       D/F#              G  
Just a few saints on the shore  
  D           D/Db    Bm   Bm/A  
I felt like a newborn baby  
        G         A           D  
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord  
  
D        Bm   G                A  
Amazing Grace, oh how sweet the sound  
D                        Bm  
  There was glory in the air,  
          G             A  
there was dinner on the ground  
   Bm              A          G               D/F#  
My sins which were many, were washed away and gone  
 G                   D/F#  
Along with a buffalo nickle,  
     G      A        D  
I forgot to leave at home  
  
     C                  G                     D  
That seemed like such a small small price to pay  
G               D/F#  
For the blessed peace of mind,  
     Em              Asus A  
that came to me that day  
  
       D             F#m  
It was down with the old man,  
G             D  
  Up with the new  
G           D/F#               Em        Asus A  
  Raised to walk in the way of light and truth  
Bm                G  
  I didn't see no angels  
       D/F#              G  
Just a few saints on the shore  
      D           D/Db    Bm  Bm/A  
But I felt like a newborn baby  
        G         A           D  
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord  
  
     C                G  
This road is long and dusty  
            Em      A       D  
Sometimes a soul it must me cleansed  
      C                 G  
And I long to feel that water  
Em              Asus A  
Rushing over me again  
  
 D            F#m     G           D  
Down with the old man up with the new  
G           D/F#               Em        Asus A  
  Raised to walk in the way of light and truth  
Bm            G              D/F#              G  
Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore  
  D           D/Db    Bm   Bm/A  
I felt like a newborn baby  
        G         A           Bm    E  
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord  
  
  D           D/Db    Bm   Bm/A  
I felt like a newborn baby  
        G         A           D  
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
