Amazing Grace

(Intro - Heavy, distorted guitar riff with a driving drum beat)

(Verse 1)

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

I was blind, but now I see.

(Verse 2)

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!

(Chorus - Music gets bigger, maybe slightly slower tempo but more powerful)

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

I was blind, but now I see.

(Verse 3)

Through many dangers, toils and snares

I have already come:

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

(Chorus - Intense)

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

I was blind, but now I see.

(Bridge - Music drops out slightly, bass line and clean guitar arpeggios, building tension)

The Lord has promised good to me,

his word my hope secures;

he will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,

and mortal life shall cease:

I shall possess, within the veil,

a life of joy and peace.

(Guitar Solo - Energetic, melodic/dissonant solo over the bridge chords, building into the final chorus)

(Chorus - Full-band explosion, maximum intensity)

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

I was blind, but now I see.

(Outro - Slowing down, drum hits, single sustained, distorted guitar chord fades out)

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,

the sun forbear to shine;

but God, who called me here below,

will be forever mine.

Amazing grace (how sweet the sound)...

(Fade Out)
