C       C7        F         C                              G7
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me

[Verse 1]
          C                 F                  C
Along the river by the road near a Mississippi town
                                     G7
Was a place where my family loved to go
        C                                   F
Was the church house with a steeple and was always filled with people
          C                   G7              C
Cause the neighbors came from miles and miles around

                             F                 C
As a boy and as a man in the front row I would stand
                                     G7
And raised my voice to God up in the sky
     C                                F
Everybody joined the singing till the little church was ringing
     C             G7               C
With songs like In The Sweet By And By

[Chorus]
                    G7
In the sweet by and by
                                C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
                                  F                   C
Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream it back again
                            G7            C
To the little church that's nestled in my mind

[Verse 2]
                               F                   C
In the early part of May delta nights were hard to take
                                    G7
So we opened up the windows and the doors
       C                                    F               C
The congregation's sat and fanned some with bibles in their hands
                       G7                 C
Out into the night the words of God would pour

[Solo]

Precious memories how they linger
F                      C
How they ever flood my soul
                 F      C
In the stillness of the midnight
         G7            C
Precious sacred scenes unfold


[Chorus]
                    G7
In the sweet by and by
                                C
We shall meet on that beautiful shore
                                  F                   C
Though I've long been lost in sin I can dream me back again
                            G7            F  C
To the little church that's nestled in my mind
