Gabriel Uke tab by Alec Benjamin

[Verse 1]
   G
Gabriel, the oldest son
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

[Chorus]
Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G
That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to
Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
              G
He had no one that he could talk to

Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

[Verse]
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

[Chorus]
Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G
That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to
Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
               G
He had no one that he could talk to

Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Em    C
Ohhh, what it means to be someone
G
That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to
Em    C
Ohhh, oh Gabriel
              G
He had no one that he could talk to

Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to

[Outro]
G
But is Gabriel responsible?
