The Gospel According To Fishermen Cifras

[Verse 1]
 
Dm                             Am
I was raised in the house of a real holy roller
           G                         Dm
Warned the people about the wages of sin
Dm                           Am
He said go out yonder to the water and travel
         G                            Dm
'Cause disciples they were fishers of men
        G                Am         Dm
Yeah disciples they were fishers of men
 
[Verse 2]
 
Dm                       Am
So I got me a job on the first boat rowin'
         G                  Dm
And it's been a mighty long time
Dm                             Am
Since I sat in the house of my father and my mother
     G                  Dm
Or I seen that woman of mine
G                     Am     Dm
Yeah that good lovin' gal of mine
 
[Verse 3]
 
Dm                           Am
I said babe I'm a-goin' on a little bitty journey
        G                        Dm
I'll be back when the fishin' is through
Dm                     Am
While I'm waitin' make haste to get ready
         G               Dm
For when Jesus comes for you
G                  Am        Dm
When the Good Lord comes for you
G          Am        Dm
When Jesus comes for you
 
Here it comes

Dm Am G Dm Am G Dm Am G
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm               Am
Sayin' "Shall we gather by the water
    G         Dm
The beautiful water
Dm       Am
Shall we gather by the water
     G                        Dm
That flows from the throne of God"
 
Dm Am G
 
 
[Verse 4]
 
         Dm                   Am
Well the Truth it lies in the love of a woman
G                    Dm
Lord don't sink this boat
        Dm                          Am
I got a pretty little thing waitin' in New Orleans
       G             Dm
With a dagger by her throat
Dm                        Am
She don't wanna do it but she's that crazy
       G               Dm
And if I don't make it back
       Dm           Am
She'll probably die alone and cold
       G                  Dm
As the creole night turns black
 
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Dm               Am
Sayin' "Shall we gather by the water
    G         Dm
The beautiful water
Dm       Am
Shall we gather by the water
     G                        Dm
That flows from the throne of God"
