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
So they knew from the start        |> riff for about 8 bars.
                                   |>
This road would not lead to fame   |>
         Dsus4            C#7                F#msus
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
 G#msus  Asus4                  	  Dsus4
He said "Come follow me" and they came
     F#msus                A
With reckless abandon they came


Empty nets lying there at the waters edge |>
                                          |> Play the same as the
Told a story that few could believe       |> intro riff for about
                                          |> 8 bars.
And none could explain                    |>
         Dsus4        C#7              F#msus             G#msus
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
     Asus4                           Dsus4
With no thought for what they would gain
    F#msus               Asus4     Asus4        Bsus4
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered


CHORUS :

No ot.....her    reason at   all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die...


BRIDGE :

B                     C#m
Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
A                    A  B
Not for a dream or a promise
B                    C#m
Simply because it is Jesus who calls 
    A                   Dsus4
And if we believe we'll obey
A                       A   B
 And we'll answer....
