G                                          C             G
While out sailing on the ocean. While out sailing on the sea
                                  A7          D7
I bumped into the Saviour and He said "Pardon Me"
          G                                C           G
I said "Jesus, you look tired". He said "Jesus, so do you"
          C                    D                G
Won't ya sit down son 'cause I got some fat to chew

Chorus:
G                         C                 G
Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
                                  A7                 D7
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
But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to.

      G                               C                 G
Well, he spoke to me of morality, starvation, pain and sin
                                      A7                  D7
Matter of fact the whole dang time I only got a few words in
    G                                         C
But I won't squawk. Let 'em talk. Hell, it's been a long long 
 G
time
     C                 G
And any friend that's been turned down
    D                       G
Is bound to be a friend to mine.

Repeat Chorus:

    G                                     C                 G
Now we sat there for an hour or two just eatin' that Gospel pie
                                                A7
When around the bend come a terrible wind and lightning lit 
    D7
the sky
           G                           C
He said so long son I gotta run. I appreciate you listenin' to
G
me
        C                  G
And I believe I heard him sing these words
        D                     G
As he skipped out across the sea

Repeat Chorus:

Ending:
      C        G              D                 G
But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to.
