Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 While out sailing on the ocean

 While out sailing on the sea

 I bumped into the Saviour

 And He said pardon me

 I said Jesus you look tired

 He said Jesus so do you,

Sit down son Cause I got some fat to chew

Chorus

Everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

Someone to open up their ears And let that trouble through

 Now you don't have to sympathize Or care what they may do

 But everybody needs somebody that they can talk to

 Well he spoke to me of morality

 Starvation, pain and sin

Matter of fact the whole dang time

 I only got a few words in

 But I won't squawck Let 'em talk

 Hell it's been a long long time

 And any friend that's been turned down

 Is bound to be a friend of mine

(Repeat chorus)

 Now we sat there for an hour or two

 Just eatin' that Gospel pie

 When around the bend come a terrible wind

 And lightning lit the sky

 He said so long son I gotta run

 Appreciate you listening to me

 And I believe I heard him sing these words

 As he skipped out across the sea

(Repeat chorus)
