[Intro]
C G D G
[Verse 1]
G While out sailing on the ocean C G While out sailing on the sea G I bumped into the Saviour A D And He said "Pardon me" G I said "Jesus, you look tired" C G He said "Jesus, so do you, C D G Sit down son 'cause I got some fat to chew"
[Chorus]
G C G Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to G A D Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through G C G Now you don't have to sympathize or care what they may do C G D G C G D G But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
[Verse 2]
G Well, he spoke to me of morality C G Starvation, pain and sin G Matter of fact the whole dang time A D I only got a few words in G But I won't squawk, let 'em talk C G Hell, it's been a long long time C G And any friend that's been turned down D G Is bound to be a friend of mine
[Chorus]
G C G Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to G A D Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through G C G Now you don't have to sympathize or care what they may do C G D G C G D G But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
[Verse 3]
G Now we sat there for an hour or two C G Just eatin' that Gospel pie G When around the bend come a terrible wind A D And lightning lit the sky G He said "So long son, I gotta run C G Appreciate you listening to me" C G And I believe I heard him sing these words D G As he skipped out across the sea
[Chorus]
G C G Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to G A D Someone to open up their ears and let that trouble through G C G Now you don't have to sympathize or care what they may do C G D G C G D G But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
