Amazing Grace Chords & Guitar Lesson
Welcome to my Amazing Grace guitar chord chart. This is a very simple acoustic guitar song that only uses three chords - A, D and E. This song is in 3/4 time which means we will only count to 3. Each chord is one measure each and you can easily play it with three down strums or add an up strum on the end for a little extra spice. Intro section.
