Текст песни с аккордами

    	    	Вступление

[Verse 1]
A
A young man came to a house of prayer
     Bm      A                     E
They did not ask what brought him there
   A        F#m       A       D
He was not friend, he was not kin
         A           F#m     E        A
but they opened the door and let him in


[Verse 2]
A
And for an hour the stranger stayed
    Bm      A         E
He sat with them and seemed to pray
      A      F#m        A      D
But then the young man drew a gun
       A         F#m     E       A
and killed nine people, old and young


[Verse 3]
A
In Charleston in the month of June
     Bm               A     E
the mourners gathered in a room
        A      F#m       A          D
The President came to speak some words
         A       F#m           E       A
and the cameras rolled and the nation heard


[Chorus]
A
But no words could say what must be said
    Bm       A              E
for all the living and the dead
      A    F#m     A        D
so on that day and in that place
    F#m              D        A
the President sang Amazing Grace
        F#m    D    E       A
The President sang Amazing Grace


[Verse 4]
A
We argued where to lay the blame
   Bm        A           E
On one man's hate or our nation's shame
          A    F#m    A       D
Some sickness of the mind or soul
     A       F#m         D       A
and how the wounds might be made whole


[Chorus]
A
But no words could say what must be said
     Bm      A     E
for all the living and the dead
   A       F#m     A       D
So on that day and in that place
        F#m        D       A
the President sang Amazing Grace
        F#m   D    E       A
My President sang Amazing Grace
