[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 [Solo] 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"
