Here’s a video lesson on one of the all time great American spiritual songs.
Chords and Strumming for Amazing Grace Ukulele Tutorial
Amazing Grace uses these five chords.
Amazing Grace is in 3/4 time so the feel, or swing, of the song is different from a song in 4/4 or common time. When you are first learning the song, just use three down strokes per chord for the three beats in each measure. Then, when you know the song better, the down, down-up, down strumming pattern will make more sense.
Enjoy and happy strumming!

Thanks so much! Just played Amazing Grace with your tutorial and it’s so helpful. Thanks!!
You’re welcome.
The new hymn course is so much fun. So many hymns… “I feel like a kid in a penny candy store”.
Don’t know where to start first. I have always wanted to play Jesus Loves Me with a little more
feeling. The Chord Melody-F Major, with only three chords is exactly what I was lookin for.
Thank you Jenny.
I am so glad you like it, Bruce!
amazing
so useful now I can play this in church without a problem!
We’re glad the ukulele lesson helped you learn to play the song, Audrey! Happy strumming!
