The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond
D Bm G AAnd rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Bm F# G DDaddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dress
Watched with pride, as I stood there in the water up to my chest
C/G (step down Bass) D
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
G G/F# Em AAnd I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud
D A
(CHORUS) Then it was down with the old man
G DUp with the new
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Bm G D GDidn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
D Bm G-G/F#But I felt like a newborn baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
Amazing Grace, Oh how sweet the sound
D Bm G AThere was glory in the air; there was dinner on the ground
Bm F# G DMy sins which were many, were washed away and gone
Along with the buffalo nickel, I forgot to leave at home
C/G (step down bass) D
That seems like such a small, small price to pay
G G/F# Em AFor the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day
(CHORUS)
C/G (bass down)
This road is long and dusty
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
C/G (bass down)
And I long to feel that water
G ARushing over me again
D A G D
Down with the old man, Up with the new
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Bm G D GDidn’t see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
D Bm G-G/F#But I felt like a newborn Baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
Yes I felt like a new born Baby
Em A DCradled up in the arms of the Lord
