G 
Gabriel, the oldest son

He praised the lord and married young 
Em 
Became a priest in night confession 
C 
Cure 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 

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 

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

Heave the baggage from the sand 
Bm 
Aboard the vessel with his hands and 
Em 
When he couldn't see the land

Release the their sins on his command

Ohhh, what it means to be someone

He had no one that he could talk to 
Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to 

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 

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 

G 
But is Gabriel responsible?
