PLAY INTRODUCTION RIFF FOR ABOUT TWICE (8 BARS) then start the song
at the 2nd bar of the third round...




Nobody stood and applauded them     | >
                                    | > Play the same as the intro

This road would not lead to fame    | >
         D5            C#5                F#msus
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
 G#msus  A5                          D5
He said "Come follow me" and they came
     F#msus                A5
With reckless abandon they came


Empty nets lying there at the waters edge  | >
                                           | > Play the same as the

         D5        C#5              F#msus             G#msus
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
     A5                           D5
With no thought for what they would gain
    F#msus               A5     A5        B5
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered


CHORUS :
             Esus1/
E5  F#msus G#msus E5   B5 A5        F#msus
We will   a......bandon it   all for the sake of the call
             Esus1/
E5  F#msus G#msus E5   B5 A5        F#msus
No ot.....her    reason at   all but the sake of the call
A5     G#msus   D5        A5
Wholly devoted to live and to die...


BRIDGE :

B5                     C#5
Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
A5                    A5  B5
Not for a dream or a promise
B5                    C#5
Simply because it is Jesus who calls 
    A5                   D5
And if we believe we'll obey
A5                       A5   B5
 And we'll answer....


CHORUS :
             Esus1/
E5  F#msus G#msus E5   B5 A5        F#msus
We will   a......bandon it   all for the sake of the call

E5  F#msus G#msus E5   B5 A5        F#msus
No ot.....her    reason at   all but the sake of the call
A5     G#msus   D5        A5
Wholly devoted to live and to die
        B5        E5    G#msus A5
For the sake of the call....      (Repeat the last line a few
                                   times before ending the song)
