Preview (partial song; no chords displayed)

This is the live Abbey Road version abstract and it is the best I can
come up with. I typed it down following the order of the song as in
the video, so you don't see the full version of the song. For better
understanding of what has been written, listen back to the video and
try to play along. The key I'm playing is in E major with normal/std.
tuning. Steven plays it a semitone to a tone lower (Eb - D). Try it
out anyway. Please have mercy on the names that I have given for the
chords below. They are my own given names for my own guide. Enjoy
playing the song and e-mail me for any queries if you want to.
God Bless!!

Nobody stood and applauded them |>
So they knew from the start |> riff for about 8 bars.

This road would not lead to fame |>

All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
G#msus Asus Dsus
He said "Come follow me" and they came
F#msus A
With reckless abandon they came
Empty nets lying there at the waters edge |>

And none could explain |>

How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus led
Asus Dsus
With no thought for what they would gain
F#msus Asus Asus Bsus
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered



Esus1/

We will a......bandon it all for the sake of the call
Esus1/
E F#msus G#msus Esus Bsus Asus F#msus
No ot.....her reason at all but the sake of the call
Asus G#msus Dsus A
Wholly devoted to live and to die...

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 Dsus
And if we believe we'll obey
A A B
And we'll answer....

For the sake of the call.... (Repeat the last line a few
times before ending the song)
