Amazing Grace
- Learn To Play On Guitar
Amazing Grace was written by an English poet by the name of John Newton back in 1772 and published the song in 1779. The song was for a sermon to be preached on New Years Day 1773. The version most sung today comes from a melody composed in 1835 by William Walker, an American composer.
Over the time the lyrics have changed slightly and new ones added, depending on the artist and the slight twist they've decided to put into the song. If I were to list everyone who has recorded this song, it would be a long read. It was estimated that the song is sung approx 10 million times each year around the world.
