Kenny Chesney - Baptism: chords

E           C#m         A              B
The summer breeze made ripples on the pond
E                    C#m           A
Rattled through the reeds and the willow trees
   B
beyond
C#m           B         A                   E/G#
Daddy in his good hat, momma in her Sunday dress
 A                       E/G#
Watched with pride as I stood there
        A        B      E
in the water up to my chest
          D              A                   E
And the preacher spoke about the cleansing blood
A              E/G#          F#m             Bsus4 B
And I sank my toes into that east Tennessee mud

Chorus:
             E            C#m
Then it was down with the old man,
A            E
Up with the new
A         E/G#                F#m        Bsus4 B
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
C#m             A
I didn't see no angels
       E/G#              A
Just a few saints on the shore
   E           A/D#   C#m B
I felt like a newborn baby
        A         B           E
Cradled up in the arms of the Lord

Amazing grace, oh how sweet the sound
There was glory in the air,
there was dinner on the ground
And my sins which were many,
were washed away and gone
Along with a buffalo nickel
I forgot to leave at home
But that seemed like such a small,
small price to pay
For the blessed peace of mind
that came to me that day

Chorus

      D                A
This road is long and dusty
            F#m      B        E
Sometimes a soul it must me cleansed
       D                 A
And I long to feel that water
F#m              Bsus4 B
Rushing over me again

Down with the old man, up with the new
Raised to walk in the way of light and truth
I didn't see no angels,
just a few saints on the shore
But I felt like a new born baby,
cradled up in the arms of the Lord
I felt like a new born baby,
cradled up in the arms of the Lord
