Kenny Chesney - Baptism Chords

Capo on 2nd Fret 	 


Verse
 D           Bm           G              A
   The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
 D                          Bm             G             A
   And rattled through the leaves and the willow trees beyond.
 G               A             G                   G/F#
   Daddy in his good had, and mamma in her Sunday dress
 G                          G/F#               Em      A      D  
   Watched with pride as I stood there in the water up to my chest.
 
Pre-Chorus
            C              Bm                  D
   And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood.
 G           G/F#           Em             A
   I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud.


Chorus
               D            Bm       G  A           D
   And it was down with the old man,   up with the new.
 G           G/F#                    Em        A
   Raised to walk in the way of the light and truth.
Bm                  G              D                 G
   I didn't see no angels, just a few saints on the shore,
          D           Bm       G   G/F#      Em         A           D
   but I felt like a new-born baby   cradled up in the arms of the Lord. 

Verse
   Amazing Grace, Oh how sweet the sound...there was
   Glory in the air. There was dinner on the ground.
   And my sins went for many, were washed away and gone
   along with a buffalo nickel that I forgot to leave at home.
Pre-Chorus 2
   But that seemed like such a small small price to pay
   for the blessed peace of mind that came to me that day

Chorus

Pre-Chorus 3
         C                Bm                   G       A       D
   That road is long and dusty, sometimes the soul it must be cleansed
         C                  Bm            G       A
   And I long to feel that water rushing over me again

Chorus
