The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond
D Bm G A
And rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Bm F# G D
Daddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dress
G D G A
D
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 A
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud
D A
(CHORUS) Then it was down with the old man
G D
Up with the new
G G/F# Em A
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Bm G D G
Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
D Bm G-G/F#
But I felt like a newborn baby
Em A D
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
D G A
Amazing Grace, Oh how sweet the sound
D Bm G A
There was glory in the air; there was dinner on the ground
Bm F# G D
My sins which were many, were washed away and gone
G D G A D
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 A
For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day
(CHORUS)
C/G (bass down)
This road is long and dusty
G A D
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
C/G (bass down)
And I long to feel that water
G A
Rushing over me again
D A G D
Down with the old man, Up with the new
G D A
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Bm G D G
Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
D Bm G-G/F#
But I felt like a newborn Baby
Em A Bm
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
D Bm G-G/F#
Yes I felt like a new born Baby
Em A D
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
