Pretty Amazing Grace Tab

by Neil Diamond


Pretty Amazing Grace by Neil Diamond has been stuck in my head for weeks thanks to local
airplay and as neither version is quite right I thought I tab it. This is for one
think there's at least three on the track, but I've also tabbed the short guitar break. 
on's in the bass on the F chord in the verse progressions, and run up from A to C
verses and after choruses. Enjoy

Capo 2nd fret

Intro:
                    x2
//    /        //

Verse 1:

                           
Pretty amazing grace is what you showed me
                          
Pretty amazing grace is who you are
              
I was an empty vessel
                 
You filled me up inside
                                 
And with amazing grace restored my pride

Verse 2:

                            
Pretty amazing grace is how you saved me
                                       
And with amazing grace reclaimed my heart
                   
Love in the midst of chaos
                 
Calm in the heat of war
                                      
Showed with amazing grace what love was for

Chorus 1:
                     
You forgave my insensitivity
                       
And my attempt to then mislead you
                      
You stood beside a wretch like me
                               
Your pretty amazing grace was all I needed.

Verse 3:

                                  
Stumbled inside the doorway of your chapel
                                 
Humbled in God by everything I found
               
Beauty and love surround me
                    
Freed me from what I fear
                            
Ask for amazing grace and you appear

Chorus 2:

                               
You overcame my loss of hope and faith
                           
Gave me a truth I could believe in
                   
You led me to a higher place
                                                     
Showed Your amazing grace when grace was what I needed

Verse 4:

                             
Look in a mirror I see your reflection
                             
Open a book you live on every page
                         
I fall and you're there to lift me
                  
Share every road I climb
                                   
And with amazing grace you ease my mind

Chorus 3:
                              
I Came to You with empty pockets first
                         
When I returned I was rich man
                                
Didn't believe love could quench my thirst
                                           
But with amazing grace you showed me that it can

Verse 5;

                           
In your amazing grace I had a vision
                                    
From that amazing place I came to be
               
Into the night I wandered
          
Wandering aimlessly
                                  
Found your amazing grace to comfort me.

Final Chorus:
                               
You overcame my loss of hope and faith,
                              
Gave me a truth I could believe in.
                          
You led me to that higher place
               
Showed me that love
    
And truth
    
And hope
                      
And grace were all I needed.
