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 is associated with the new born America and is also associated with an earlier song called New Britain. It has been performed in religious context, such as a funeral hymn, and there are versions in different styles such as gospel and bluegrass. Today it is one of the most popular traditional songs and many modern guitarists have done their own versions, including Tommy Emanuel.
The music transcriptions of the song with tabs and notes are available for download as PDFs. It's free for personal use only.
Amazing Grace: Chord Melody Guitar Tab
There are only five notes in total used in this song: G, A, B, D and E. These five notes make up the G Pentatonic Major scale. The version presented above consisting only of the melody are especially easy to play and learn since it only involves three strings and many notes are played on open strings as well. The most challenged parts are arguably the triplets that are played on four occasions.
The second key for learning the song is to recognize the structure. Amazing Grace consist of 16 bars (excluding the pick-up bar in the beginning). If you study the song, you can observe that many of the parts are quite similar.
The versions presented above include four chords only: I, I7, IV and V. The second line in each verse ends with the V chord, resolving to the I chord in the beginning of the next line. A so-called authentic cadence ends the progression for each verse, D7 - G in the G major version and E7 - A in the A major version.

There are possibilities to change to key further by using a capo. These are the keys that the song would transpose in depending on which fret the capo is put (based on the chords in the G major version):Every guitarist should learn to play this beautiful hymn. I have it here in two keys friendly to the beginning guitar player who doesn't use a capo.
The timing of the notation may look kind of funny; that's because I always double the note values for my beginners in order to avoid eighth notes.
There's enough going on with learning guitar that I don't want timing to be an issue -- although this is a well-known tune, a lot of kids have not heard it.
Amazing Grace, Open D
The man who penned the Amazing Grace hymn lyrics, John Newton, had been an Atlantic Sea slave trader, and knew that he was indeed the worst of wretches!
A fairly recent book and movie, Amazing Grace , tells the almost unknown story of how one Englishman, William Wilberforce, worked in Parliament diligently over many years to abolish the slave trade.
Not until the end of his life - after many years - was he successful in persuading Parliament to outlaw --not slavery-- but the slave TRADE, which marked the beginning of the end for legal slavery in England, and ultimately all nations with a Christian heritage.

Christian heritage? Yes -- for the sacred texts of the Christian faith claim that there is inherent equality of all souls before God... as Job said (Job 31:15):
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Though it is one of the most popular funeral songs, the meaning of the words how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, can touch all hearts in times of despair or in times of gratefulness.
With a message of God's grace freely extended to all, perhaps it is the most comforting of funeral hymns, as well as for a general worship service.

Amazing Grace: Bass Guitar Tab And Sheet Music
Victoria: This website is one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I'm actually a high school student who teaches piano to elementary/ middle school students! Only being in high school and not having an actual job makes it difficult to find good, reliable music to give to my students without having to pay for it.
But this site is a miracle! Almost everything that I give my students to play comes from this site. The sheet music is clean and clear and I, as well as my kids, love it! Thank you so much for everything that you do. It really means and helps a lot.
Do you have a funny story about this music, or does it remind you of something you'd like to share with other readers? Do you have a question? I'd love to hear it!
