Introduction: A D A A D A
A D A
Footsteps on the sea, nets upon the sand
A D A
Seabirds flying free, the sower sows his land
D E A D E A
I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
D E A D Bm E7
Mending nets on yellow sand when my brother said to me
A D A
See who walks the shore, yonder by the tree
A D A
One who walks so tall, a preacher-man is He
D E A D E A
I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
D E A D Bm E7
Mending nets on yellow sand when He came up to me
A D A
Eyes that bore the sea, a thousand ages old
A D A
Fixed their gaze on me, a thousand tales were told
D E A D E A
Later on the tide came in and washed my nets away
D E A D Bm E7
Shadows long heard a fisherman's song, but my bed it empty lay
A D A
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
A D A
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm
D E A D E A
I was only singing songs of billowed sails and sea
D E A D Bm E7 A D A
Mending nets on yellow sand when He said ... Follow ... Me
