Gabriel Chords & Lyrics - Alec Benjamin

[VERSE]
[E]Gabriel the oldest son
He p[E4]raised the lord and m[E]arried young
[G#m]Became a Priest and at confession
[G#m6]Cured the people o[G#m7]f transgression

[E]Gabriel he held the weight of
[E4]Everybody's [E]toxic waste and
[G#m]With the load upon his shoulder
[G#m6]Couldn't sleep as[G#m7] he got older

[CHORUS]
[C#m]Ooooh
[A]What it means to be someone that
[E]Everybody has to talk to
[F#]Everybody has to talk to
[C#m]Ooooh
Our [A]Gabriel, he had no one that
[E]He could talk to
Gabriel, he [F#]had no one that he could talk to

[VERSE]
[E]Looking for a place to be or
[E4]Someplace he could h[E]ide his grief
[G#m]Gabriel ran to the beach and
[G#m6]Set out for the [G#m7]open sea

H[E]eaved the baggage from the sands
A[E4]board the vessel w[E]ith his hands
And [G#m]when he couldn't see the land
Re[G#m6]leased their sins on [G#m7]his command

[CHORUS]
[C#m]Ooooh
[A]What it means to be someone that
[E]Everybody has to talk to
[F#]Everybody has to talk to
[C#m]Ooooh
Our [A]Gabriel, he had no one that
[E]He could talk to
Gabriel, he [F#]had no one that he could talk to

[SOLO]
2x [C#m] [A] [E] [F#]

[VERSE]
[E]As the problems slowly drifted
[E4]All the weight was q[E]uickly lifted
[G#m]From his back into the sea
He[G#m6] finally felt[G#m7] he was free

[E]When he got home after months
[E4]Sat down and wait[E]ed for lunch
He [G#m]looked down at an empty dish
Cause [G#m6]all their sins had[G#m7] killed the fish

[CHORUS]
[C#m]Ooooh
[A]What it means to be someone that
[E]Everybody has to talk to
[F#]Everybody has to talk to
[C#m]Ooooh
Our [A]Gabriel, he had no one that
[E]He could talk to
Gabriel, he [F#]had no one that he could talk to
