Gabriel the oldest son
E4 E
He praised the lord and married young

Everybody's toxic waste and

With the load upon his shoulder
G#m6 G#m7
Couldn't sleep as he got older

Looking for a place to be or
E4 E
Someplace he could hide his grief
G#m
Gabriel ran to the beach and
G#m6 G#m7
Set out for the open sea
E
Heaved the baggage from the sands
E4 E
Aboard the vessel with his hands
G#m
And when he couldn't see the land
G#m6 G#m7
Released their sins on his command
[Chorus]

E
As the problems slowly drifted
E4 E
All the weight was quickly lifted
G#m
From his back into the sea
G#m6 G#m7
He finally felt he was free
E
When he got home after months
E4 E
Sat down and waited for lunch
G#m
He looked down at an empty dish
G#m6 G#m7
Cause all their sins had killed the fish
[Chorus]
