Chorus:

          D                             F#7
Keep your lure in the water, don't just sit by the shore
          G                        D
there are souls to be caught, everywhere in this old world
F#7                                    G
Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide
          D                         A7        D
Keep your lure in the water, in the waters of life


Verse 1:

                Bm     D
The Lord said, "Simon, haul your nets in
         Bm          D
From now on you're a fisher of men"
            G              D                B7
Well I like fishin',that's why it caught my ear
E7                                 A7
The Lord knew how to get to me and what I'd need to hear

          G                        D
There are souls to be caught, everywhere in this old world
F#7                                    G
Go where hearts are plenty, don't just drift with the tide

Verse 2:

                Bm                D
When the sea is troubled and it's hard to stay afloat
                  Bm       D
And you feel like Jesus is sleeping in the boat
          G            D                B7
Don't you dare give up on the Prince of Peace
           E7
And in the middle of the storm
         A7
You will find a sweet release
