  • Sort of a medley of the two songs
Am         C        D            F
There is a house in New Orleans
     Am       C      E
They call the Rising Sun
         Am       C       D           F
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
    Am    E        Am ... C D F Am E Am E
And God I know I'm one

But ...

   Amazing grace how sweet the sound
   that saved a wretch like me
   I once was lost, but now am found,
   was blind but now I see ... Hallelu-ia ...

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved 
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed
   
Through many dangers toils and snares
I have already come
'Twas grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace shall bring me home

When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun
