While out ^Gsailing on the ocean While out ^Csailing on the ^Gsea I ^Gbumped into the Saviour And ^AHe said pardon ^Dme I said ^GJesus you look tired He said ^CJesus so do ^Gyou, ^CSit down son Cause I ^Dgot some fat to ^Gchew

Chorus:

^GEverybody needs somebody ^Cthat they can talk ^Gto ^GSomeone to open up their ears And ^Alet that trouble ^Dthrough Now ^Gyou don't have to sympathize Or ^Ccare what they may ^Gdo But ^Ceverybody ^Gneeds somebody ^Dthat they can talk ^Gto ^C ^G ^D ^G

Well he ^Gspoke to me of morality Star^Cvation, pain and ^Gsin ^GMatter of fact the whole dang time I only ^Agot a few words ^Din But ^GI won't squawck Let 'em talk Hell it's ^Cbeen a long long ^Gtime And ^Cany friend that's ^Gbeen turned down Is ^Dbound to be a friend of ^Gmine

(Repeat chorus)

Now we ^Gsat there for an hour or two Just ^Ceatin' that Gospel ^Gpie When ^Garound the bend come a terrible wind And ^Alightning lit the ^Dsky He said ^Gso long son I gotta run Appre^Cciate you listening to ^Gme And I ^Cbelieve I heard him ^Gsing these words As he ^Dskipped out across the ^Gsea

(Repeat chorus)
