Strum
D-DU-UDU
The summer breeze, made ripples on the pond
And rattled through the reeds and the willow trees beyond
Daddy in his good hat, mama in her Sunday dress
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
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud
(CHORUS) Then it was down with the old man
Up with the new
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
-
But I felt like a newborn baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
Amazing Grace, Oh how sweet the sound
There was glory in the air; there was dinner on the ground
My sins which were many, were washed away and gone
Along with the buffalo nickel, I forgot to leave at home
That seems like such a small, small price to pay
For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day
(CHORUS)
This road is long and dusty
Sometimes a soul it must be cleansed
And I long to feel that water
Rushing over me again
Down with the old man, Up with the new
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
Didnt see no angels, just a few saints on the shore
-
But I felt like a newborn Baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
-
Yes I felt like a new born Baby
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord
Not sure of the key he sings it in but this is what I figured out.
