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