Baptism Kenny Chesney
Key of E
Capo on 2nd fret
[D]The summer b[Bm]reeze made[G] ripples on the[A] pond
[D] Rattled through the [Bm]reeds and the[G] willow trees b[A]eyond
[Bm]Daddy in his [A]good hat, [G]momma in her Sunday [D/F#]dress
[G]Watched with pride as I [D/F#]stood there
in the [G]water up [A]to my [D]chest
And the [C]preacher spoke ab[G]out the cleansing bl[D]ood
[G]And I sank my t[D/F#]oes into that [Em]east Tennessee [Asus]mud [A]
Then it was [D]down with the [F#m]old man,
[G] Up with the[D] new
[G] Raised to [D/F#]walk in the way of [Em]light and [Asus]truth[A]
[Bm]I didn't see no [G]angels
Just a [D/F#]few saints on the [G]shore
I [D]felt like a [D/Db]newborn [Bm]baby [Bm/A]
Cradled [G]up in the [A]arms of the [D]Lord
[D]Amazing G[Bm]race,[G] oh how sweet the[A] sound
[D] There was glory in the [Bm]air,
there was [G]dinner on the [A]ground
My [Bm]sins which were [A]many, were [G]washed away and [D/F#]gone
A[G]long with a buffalo [D/F#]nickle,
I for[G]got to [A]leave at [D]home
That [C]seemed like such a [G]small small price to p[D]ay
[G]For the blessed [D/F#]peace of mind,
that [Em]came to me that [Asus]day [A]
It was [D]down with the [F#m]old man,
[G] Up with the [D]new
[G] Raised to [D/F#]walk in the way of [Em]light and [Asus]truth[A]
[Bm] I didn't see no [G]angels
Just a [D/F#]few saints on the [G]shore
But I [D]felt like a [D/Db]newborn [Bm]baby[Bm/A]
Cradled [G]up in the [A]arms of the [D]Lord
This [C]road is long and [G]dusty
Sometimes a [Em]soul it [A]must me [D]cleansed
And I [C]long to feel that [G]water
[Em]Rushing over me [Asus]again[A]
D[D]own with the [F#m]old man [G]up with the [D]new
[G] Raised to [D/F#]walk in the way of [Em]light and [Asus]truth[A]
[Bm]Didn't see no [G]angels, just a [D/F#]few saints on the [G]shore
I [D]felt like a [D/Db]newborn [Bm]baby [Bm/A]
Cradled [G]up in the [A]arms of the [Bm]Lord [E]
I [D]felt like a [D/Db]newborn [Bm]baby [Bm/A]
Cradled [G]up in the [A]arms of the [D]Lord
