[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][G][Asus4][D][Bm][G][D]

[Verse 1]
The summer [Bm]breeze,
made [G]ripples on [Asus4]the pond
[D]Rattled through the[Bm] rings and the
[G]willow trees beyond
[Asus4]Daddy in [Bm]his good hat,[A]
[G]mama in her Sunday [D]dress
[G]Watched in pride,
as I [D]stood there in the [Em]wa ter up to[Asus4] my ches[D]t
And the [C]preacher spoke [G]about
the cleansing [D]blood[G]
I sank my [D]toes into [Em]that East
Tennessee mud
[Asus4]

[Verse 2]
[A]
[D]And it was down with the [Bm]old man,
[G]up wit[A]h the[D] new[G]
Raised to [D]walk in the way
of [Em]light [Asus4]and truth[A]
[Bm]I didn't see no an[G] gels,
just a [D]few saints on [G]the shore
But I [D]felt like a new [Bm]baby,
[A]cradled up [G]in the arm[Asus4]s of the Lord[D]

[Interlude 1]
[Bm][G][D]

[Verse 3]
Amazing [Bm]grace,
[G]oh how sweet the [Asus4]sound
There [D]was glory in the [Bm]air,
there [G]was dinner on [Asus4]the ground
And my [Bm]sins went for [A]many,
were [G]washed away [D]and gone
[G]Along with a buffalo [D]nickel I for
[Em]got to l[Asus4]eave at [D]home
But [C]that seemed like such [G]a small,
small [D]price to pay
[G]For the blessed pea[D]ce of mind
that [Em]came to me that day

[Verse 4]
[Asus4]And it wa[A]s down[D] with the old man,[Bm]
[G]up wit[Asus4]h the new[D][G]
Raised to [D]walk in the way of [Em]light [A]and truth
[Bm]I didn't see no an[G] gels,
just a [D]few saints on the [G]shore
But I [D]felt like a new [Bm]baby,
[A]cradled up [G]in the[Asus4] arms of the Lor[D]d

[Verse 5]
[C]This road is long and [G]dusty,
sometimes the [Em]soul must [Asus4]be cleans[D]ed
And I [C]long to feel that wa[G]ter,
rushing [Em]over me again
[Asus4]

[Verse 6]
[A]
Down [D]with the old man, up with
the new
Raised to walk in [Bm]the[G][Asus4][D]
way of light [G]and truth[D][Em][Asus4][A]
[Bm]I didn't see no an[G] gels,
just a [D]few saints [G]on the shore
But I [D]felt like a [A]new [Bm]baby,
[A]cradled up [G]in the[A] arms of the Lor[Bm]d[E]
I [D]felt like a newborn [Bm]baby,
[A]cradled up [G]in the[Asus4] arms of [D]the Lord

[Outro 1]
