Alec Benjamin – Gabriel (Ukulele)

   G
[tab]Bm
He praised the lord and married young

Em
Became a priest in night confession

C
Cured the people of transgression

G
Gabriel, he held the weight of

Bm
Everybody's toxic waste and

Em
With a load upon his shoulder

C
Couldn't sleep as he got older

Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone

G
That everybody has to talk to

Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel

              G
He had no one that he could talk to

G
Looking for a place to be

Bm
Or some place he could hide his grief

Em
Gabriel went to the beach and

C
Set out for the open sea

G
Heave the baggage from the sand

Bm
Aboard the vessel with his hands and

Em
When he couldn't see the land

C
Release the their sins on his command

Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone

G
That everybody has to talk to

Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel

               G
He had no one that he could talk to

G
As the problem slowly drifted

Bm
All the weight was quickly lifted

Em
From his back into the sea

C
He finally felt he was free

G
When he got home after months

Bm
Sat down and waited for lunch

Em
He looked down at an empty dish

C
Cuz' all their sins had killed the fish

Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone

G
That everybody has to talk to

Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel

              G
He had no one that he could talk to

G
But is Gabriel responsible?
