[Verse] E Gabriel the oldest son E4E He praised the lord and married young G#m Became a Priest and at confession G#m6G#m7 Cured the people of transgression
E Gabriel he held the weight of E4E Everybody's toxic waste and G#m With the load upon his shoulder G#m6G#m7 Couldn't sleep as 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 A Our Gabriel, he had no one that E He could talk to F# Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to
[Verse] E Looking for a place to be or E4E Someplace he could hide his grief G#m Gabriel ran to the beach and G#m6G#m7 Set out for the open sea
E Heaved the baggage from the sands E4E Aboard the vessel with his hands G#m And when he couldn't see the land G#m6G#m7 Released their sins on 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 A Our Gabriel, he had no one that E He could talk to F# Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to
[Solo] 2x C#mAEF#
[Verse] E As the problems slowly drifted E4E All the weight was quickly lifted G#m From his back into the sea G#m6G#m7 He finally felt he was free
E When he got home after months E4E Sat down and waited for lunch G#m He looked down at an empty dish G#m6G#m7 Cause all their sins had 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 A Our Gabriel, he had no one that E He could talk to F# Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to
