G
While out sailing on the ocean
C G
While out sailing on the sea

I bumped into the Saviour
A D
And He said pardon me

I said Jesus you look tired
C G
He said Jesus so do you,
C D G
Sit down son Cause I got some fat to chew

Chorus:
G C G
Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
G A D
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 C G D G
But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to
G
Well he spoke to me of morality
C G
Starvation, pain and sin
G
Matter of fact the whole dang time
A D
I only got a few words in
G
But I won't squawck Let 'em talk
C G
Hell it's been a long long time
C G
And any friend that's been turned down
D G
Is bound to be a friend of mine
(Repeat chorus)
G
Now we sat there for an hour or two
C G
Just eatin' that Gospel pie
G
When around the bend come a terrible wind
A D
And lightning lit the sky
G
He said so long son I gotta run
C G
Appreciate you listening to me
C G
And I believe I heard him sing these words
D G
As he skipped out across the sea
(Repeat chorus)
