Amazing Grace
Here’s another song in three-four time. This classic hymn has been done in almost every possible musical style. Here is one way of doing the chord chart, but it’s got a lot of strums. The one advantage is that you can show extra chord changes such as the IV at the end (in parentheses).
| I / / / / / | IV / / I / / |
| / / / / / / | V / / / / / |
| I / / / / / | IV / / I / / |
| / / / V / / | I / (IV) I / / |
I / / / / / IV / / I /
Ama - zing grace how sweet the sound
/ / / / / / / V / / / /
that saved a wretch like me.
/ I / / / / / IV / / I /
I once was lost but now am found,
/ / / / V / / I / (IV) I / /
was blind but now I see. (a-a-)
A more common way of showing the chords is to just show the One strums (much like the 4/4 chord charts).
| I / IV I | / / V / | I / IV I | / V I / |
Amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fear relieved.
How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun
well we've no less days to sing God's praise, than the hour we first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come.
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer's ear.
It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone, and all the world go free?
No there's a cross for everyone, and there's a cross for me.
Amazing Grace has set me free, to touch, to taste, to feel
the wonders of accepting love, have made me whole and real.
