F#m E D
Call me Israel
D E F#m
Since some years ago,
F#m Bm C#m Bm
it's been my fate to sail November seas,
A D
And this I know.
F#m E D D E F#m
No sailor was I born, no seaman was I bred
F#m Bm C#m Bm A D
Still, the sea has carved an eye for sinking ships and floating
dead.
F#m E D
D E F#m
Call me Israel
I sail a sea of sand, and at the journey's close,
Will you suppose a man is still a man
Who would turn against the wind, who would barrel out his chest
Sail his vessel to the brink and think the fall will give him
rest?
D F#m E D
alright...
D E F#m
yohhh--ohhhhh
F#m E D
D E F#m
C#m D C#m
I wrestle with the wind, I wrestle with the waves
E D
And ropes tear in my skin and still, within the storm...
Call me Israel
Since some years ago, it's been my fate to sail November seas
Inside my soul

C#m D C#m
And I wrestle with the wind, and I wrestle with the waves
E D
And ropes tear in my skin and still, within the storm, within the
sea,
A D A D A D A D A
Within the rage I can see You, I can see You I can see You, i can
See you...
Call me Israel
I sail a sea of sand
I'm the very soul my Father holds forever in His hand
