[Intro 1]
[A][D][Bm][D][G][A][D][Bm][G]
[D]

[Verse 1]
The summer [D]breeze,
[Bm]made[G] ripples on the [A]pond[D]
Rattled through [Bm]the rings
and the wil[G]low trees beyond
[A]Dad[Bm]dy in his goo[D]d ha[A]t,
[G]mama in her Sunday [D]dress[G]
Watched in pride,
as I stood [Bm]there [F#m]in the[A] water up[G] to my [D]chest
And [C]the preacher spoke about
[G]the cleansing blo[D]od[G]
I sank my [D]toes into [G]that [Em]East
Tennessee [Asus4]mud[A]

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

[Verse 3]
[D]
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 many,
[A]were was[G]hed away and gon[D]e
[G]Along with a buffalo [D]nickel I [Bm]for
[Em]got to l[Asus4]eave at [A]home[D]
But that [C]seemed like such a small,
[G]small pri[D]ce to [G]pay
For the blessed [D]peace of mind
[Em]that came to me that [A]day

[Verse 4]
And it was [A]down [D]with the old[Bm] man,
[G]up [A]with the[D] new[G]
Raised [D]to walk in the way of
[Em]light [Asus4]and truth[A]
[Bm]I didn't see no angels[G],
just a few [D]saints on [G]the shore
[D]But I felt like [A]a new [Bm]baby,
[A]cradled up [G]in the arm[A]s of the[D] Lord

[Verse 5]
This [C]road is long and dusty,
[G]sometim[Bm]es the[Em] soul mus[A]t be cle[D]ansed
And [C]I long to feel that wa[G]ter,
rushing [Em]over me again
[Asus4][A]

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