this is the recorded key  
  
E          G#m             A             B  
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond  
E                  G#m                A            B  
Ratlled through the leaves and the willow trees beyond  
D Fm         B        A                   E  
Daddy in his good hat momma in her sunday dress  
D Fm                     B                  A                 
Watched with pride as i stood there in the water up to my   
E  
chest  
    D Fm                A                  E                  
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood  
D Fm       A             E             B  
I sank my toes into that east tennesse mud  
  

 E         G#m                D Fm  
And it was down with the old man  
A             E  D Fm      E                   A         B  
up with the new raised to walk in the way of light and truth  
D Fm          A            E             D Fm  
didnt see no angels just a few saints on shore  
      A             B        E          A          B  
but i felt like a new born baby cradled up in the arms of   
     E  
the lord
  
  
VERSE TWO SAME CHORDS: AMAZING GRACE OH HOW SWEET THE SOUND THERE WAS GLORY IN

MIND WHICH CAME TO ME THAT DAY
