Baptism Kenny Chesney
The summer breez[D]e, made ripples on the pond[G]
[D]And rattled through the reeds and[Bm] the willow trees[G] beyond[A]
[Bm]Daddy in his good[F#] hat, mama i[G]n her Sunday dress[D]
[G] [D] [G] [A]
[D]Watched with pride, as I stood there in the water up to my chest
C/G (step down Bass) D
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
G G/f# Em A
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud
(CHORUS) Then it w[D]as down with the old man[A]
[G]Up with the new[D]
G G/f# Em A
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
[Bm]Didn't see no ang[G]els, just a few sain[D]ts on the shore[G]
D Bm G-G/f#
But I felt like a newborn baby
Cradled up in [Em]the arms o[A]f the Lord[D]
[D]Amazing Grace, Oh how sw[G]eet the sound[A]
[D]There was glory in the air; ther[Bm]e was dinner on t[G]he ground[A]
[Bm]My sins which were many, we[F#]re washed away a[G]nd gone[D]
[G]Along with the buffalo nickel, [D]I forgot to le[G]ave at [A]home[D]
C/G (step down bass) D
That seems like such a small, small price to pay
G G/f# Em A
For the blessed peace of mind, that came to me that day
(CHORUS)
C/G (bass down)
This road is long and dusty
Sometimes a soul it [G]must be [A]cleansed[D]
C/G (bass down)
And I long to feel that water
Rushing over[G] me again[A]
[D]Down with the old ma[A]n, Up with th[G]e new[D]
[G]Raised to walk[D] in the way of light and [A]truth
[Bm]Didnā??t see no a[G]ngels, just a few s[D]aints on the shore[G]
D Bm G-G/f#
But I felt like a newborn Baby
Cradled up in [Em]the arms o[A]f the Lord[Bm]
D Bm G-G/f#
Yes I felt like a new born Baby
Cradled up in[Em] the arms o[A]f the Lord[D]
Not sure of the key he sings it in but this is what I figured out.
