Thread Name: Lyr Req: songs by the Carter Family
Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: ON THE SEA OF GALILEE (Carter)
And here's another from that same album that I particularly like, although I'm really guessing on some of the lyrics:

ON THE SEA OF GALILEE
The Carter Family

     E		A
Am I a soldier of the cross
E B7
A follower of the lamb
E A
And shall I fear to know his ghost
E B7 E
And blush to seek his name.

(Chorus)
A E
On the sea (the sea, the sea) of Galilee
B7 E
My Jesus is walking on the sea
A E
On the sea (the sea, the sea) of Galilee
B7 E
My Jesus is walking on the sea.

Should I declare it to the skies
On flowery bits of ease
While others fawn to win the prize
And sail to bloody seas.
