Chords for Ray Stevens - Amazing Grace

is Amazing Grace.
Can you do Amazing Grace first?
I want to do that for you because everybody in the world has done this song
two or three times.
As have I.
But it seems to hold up.
And you know the story about how it was written
and all of the slave ship captain and all that.
And he was transporting slaves from Africa, I guess to the United States.
And in their music scale, in Africa, there's only five notes.
Instead of, we have seven.
_ _ And, well, not counting the half steps.
We've got twelve notes really, but those are the black keys.
But they only had five notes for some reason.
I don't know how they figured that out, but [C] _ this _ song incorporates just those five notes. _ _ _

That's fine. _ _
_ You have had a grace-filled life.
_ Yes, I have.
God has blessed you.
Oh, boy.
In your career.
I'm the wretch they're talking about in that song.
_ I beat a wretch.
That's me.
No more calls, we have a wretch. _ _ _
