🎸 Intro:

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
