Gabriel chords by Alec Benjamin

Chords with lyrics

G+G
Gabriel, the oldest son
B minorBm
He praised the lord and married young
E minorEm
Became a priest in night confession
C majorC
Cure the people of transgression

G+G
Gabriel, he held the weight of
B minorBm
Everybody's toxic waste and
E minorEm
With a load upon his shoulder
C majorC
Couldn't sleep as he got older

E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G+G
That everybody has to talk to
Everybody has to talk to
E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
       G+G
He had no one that he could talk to
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

G+G
Looking for a place to be
B minorBm
Or some place he could hide his grief
E minorEm
Gabriel went to the beach and
C majorC
Set out for the open sea

G+G
Heave the baggage from the sand
B minorBm
Aboard the vessel with his hands and
E minorEm
When he couldn't see the land
C majorC
Release the their sins on his command

E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G+G
That everybody has to talk to
Everybody has to talk to
E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
        G+G
He had no one that he could talk to
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

G+G
As the problem slowly drifted
B minorBm
All the weight was quickly lifted
E minorEm
From his back into the sea
C majorC
He finally felt he was free

G+G
When he got home after months
B minorBm
Sat down and waited for lunch
E minorEm
He looked down at an empty dish
C majorC
Cuz' all their sins had killed the fish

E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G+G
That everybody has to talk to
Everybody has to talk to
E minorEm  C majorC
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
       G+G
He had no one that he could talk to
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

G+G
But is Gabriel responsible?
