[Verse 1]
Db              Gb/Db  Db
Jesus loves me, this I know
Gb/Db    Db
For the Bible tells me so
Db/F             Db7/F
And I heard it first
Gb           Db2
On the radio
Ebm/Db   Db
This love of God so rich and strong
Ebm/Db  Db  Ebm7    Db/F
Shall be the saints' and angels' song
Db7/F           Gb
And I heard it first
Ab           Db
on the radio.

[Chorus 1]
Gb              Cb/Gb
Amazing grace-how sweet
Gb
the sound-the lost and
Cb/Gb  Gb
lonely can be found,
Db             Gb/Db
And grace can even save
Db Dbsus2 Db   Ab
A wretch like me!
Db               Gb/Db  Db
No other love could make a way;
Gb/Db         Db         Db/F
No other love my debt could pay
Db7/F    Gb
And I heard it first
Ab          Db
On the radio.

[Verse 2]
Db
Needing refuge for my soul
Db            Gb/Db    Db
When I had no place to go
Db/F     Db7/F
And I heard it first
Gb          Db2
On the radio
Ebm/Db Db
From a life of wasted years
Ebm/Db  Db
He gave me peace
Ebm7      Db/F
And calmed my fears
Db7/F    Gb
And I heard it first
Ab           Db
On the radio.

[Chorus 2]
Gb                Cb/Gb
Had I not heard where would I be
Gb
Without this love
Cb/Gb  Gb
that lifted me
Db             Gb/Db  Db
When I was lost and noth - ing
Dbsus2 Db    Ab
Else would help?
Db         Gb/Db     Db
Just as I was without one plea
Db
Sweet Jesus came
Ebm/Db  Db  Ebm7  Db7/F
and rescued  me
Db7/F    Gb
And I heard it first
Ab           Db
On the radio.
