Song Lyrics
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
Was Grace that taught my heart to fear,
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far,
And Grace will lead us home.
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
Amazing Grace Tablature

When singing this melody there are a lot of extra quick notes you can put in, called ‘grace notes’ or inflections, but for this banjo version we’ve kept the melody really simple.
