_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [E] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
The summer [Bm] breeze _ [G] made ripples on [A] the pond, _ [D]
and rattled through [Bm] the _ reeds [G] and the willow trees [A] beyond.
_ _ _ [Bm] _
Daddy in [A] his good hat, [G] and Mama in her [D] Sunday dress, _ _ [G]
watched with pride [F#m] as I stood [D] there
[Em] in the water [D] up to my chest.
_ [A] _
_ _ [C] And the preacher spoke [G]
about the cleansing [D] _ blood, _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ as I sank my [D]
toes into that [Em] cool East Texas [A] mud.
_ _ And _ it [D] was down with [Bm] the old man, [G] _
[A] up with [D] the new, _ _ _ [G] _
_ raised [D] to walk in the [Em] ways of light and _ [A] truth.
_ [Bm]
I didn't see [G] no angels, just [D] a few saints on [G] the shore, _ [D] but I felt like [C#] a newborn [Bm] _ [A] baby
[G] cradled up in [D] the arms of the Lord.
_ [Bm] _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Amazing [Bm] grace, _ [G] oh how sweet the [A] sound, _ [D] there was glory in [Bm] the air, _ [G] there was dinner on the [A] ground.
_ [Bm] And my sins, which were [A] many, _ [G] were washed away and [D] gone.
_ _ [G]
Along with a buffalo [F#m] nickel, I [Em] forgot to leave [D] at home. _ _
_ That [C] seemed like such a [G]
small, small [D] price to _ _ pay, _ _ [G] _ for the blessed [D]
peace of mind [Em] that
came to me that [A]
day.
_ _ _ It [D] was down with the [Bm] old man, [G] _
[A] up with the [D] new, _ _ _ [G] _
_ raised [D] to walk in the ways [Em] of _ light [A] and truth.
_ _ [Bm]
I didn't see no [G] angels, just [D] a few saints on [G] the shore, _ [D] but I felt like [C#] a newborn [B] _ [A] baby
[G] cradled up in [A] the arms [D] of the Lord. _ _
_ This [C] road is [G] long and dusty, _ sometimes [Em] a soul it must be [D] _
cleansed.
And [G] I long to feel that water _ [Em] rushing over me [A]
again.

I didn't see no _ angels, just [D] a few saints on [G] the shore, _ [D] but I felt like [C#m] a newborn [Bm] baby
_ [A] _ [G] cradled up in [A] the arms [Bm] of the Lord.
_ _ [E] _
_ _ [A] I felt like a newborn [B]
baby [A] _ [G] cradled up in the [A] _ _
arms _ [D] _ of the [Bm] Lord.
