E
[tab]    Esus4                   E
He praised the lord and married young

G#m
Became a Priest and at confession

G#m6              G#m7
Cured the people of transgression

E
Gabriel he held the weight of

Esus4          E
Everybody's toxic waste and

G#m
With the load upon his shoulder

G#m6             G#m7
Couldn't sleep as he got older

C#m C#m7
Ooooh

A
What it means to be someone that

E
Everybody has to talk to

Eadd#11 E5
Everybody has to talk to

C#m C#m7
Ooooh

    A
Our Gabriel, he had no one that

E
He could talk to

            Eadd#11      E5
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

E
Looking for a place to be or

Esus4                  E
Someplace he could hide his grief

G#m
Gabriel ran to the beach and

G#m6            G#m7
Set out for the open sea

 E
Heaved the baggage from the sands

 Esus4                E
Aboard the vessel with his hands

    G#m
And when he couldn't see the land

  G#m6                 G#m7
Released their sins on his command

C#m C#m7
Ooooh

A
What it means to be someone that

Everybody has to talk to

Our Gabriel, he had no one that

E
He could talk to

            Eadd#11      E5
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

E
As the problems slowly drifted

Esus4                  E
All the weight was quickly lifted

G#m
From his back into the sea

  G#m6         G#m7
He finally felt he was free

E
When he got home after months

Esus4               E
Sat down and waited for lunch

   G#m
He looked down at an empty dish

      G#m6              G#m7
Cause all their sins had killed the fish

C#m C#m7
Ooooh

A
What it means to be someone that
