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

*Play the same as the intro riff*
Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
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

*Play the same as the intro riff*
Empty nets lying there at the waters edge
Told a story that few could believe
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 :
   Esus1/
E  F#msus G#msus Esus4   Bsus4 Asus4        F#msus
We will   a......bandon it   all for the sake of the call
   Esus1/
E  F#msus G#msus Esus4   Bsus4 Asus4        F#msus
No ot.....her    reason at   all but the sake of the call
Asus4     G#msus   Dsus4        A
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....


CHORUS :
   Esus1/
E  F#msus G#msus Esus4   Bsus4 Asus4        F#msus
We will   a......bandon it   all for the sake of the call
   Esus1/
E  F#msus G#msus Esus4   Bsus4 Asus4        F#msus
No ot.....her    reason at   all but the sake of the call
Asus4     G#msus   Dsus4        A
Wholly devoted to live and to die
        Bsus4        E    G#msus A
For the sake of the call....
