The Outsider

D

D
Times are changing you, bet
G                  D
Seems the older I get
G                   D
The less I seem to fit
                      A
In a young person's world
D
And the higher I climb
G            D
The more I design
G                       D
How they keep us all confined
              A           D
Robbin oyster of their pearls!

 D
And I am the outsider
G                 D
A horse with no rider
I am a fighter
                         A
When the darkest day is done
D
And I am the survivor
G                     D
Not laying down and die-er
G               D
Long distance driver
             A D
And I will overcome

D
My daddy he picked cotton
G                   D
Not a day was, misbegotten
G                  D
But everyone's forgotten
                                A
About his climb to the pearly gates
             D
And next to him I’ve had an easy rode
       G           D
But I got my own heavy load
     G            D
A bitter kiss has been bestowed
                        A     D
Upon the son of the rebel saint

 D
And I am the outsider
    G             D
A horse with no rider
G         D
I am a fighter
                         A
When the darkest day is done
  D
And I am the survivor
       G              D
Not laying down and die-er
    G              D
A long distance driver
    D       A     D
And I will overcome!
Yes I will!

  D
Every human has a right
            G                 D
To form a union rise up and fight
  G                    D
Were six minutes to midnight
                     A
With an old flowing cup
 D
For every child born a bastard
            G                   D
For every momma's life that's past her
            G           D
For every inside job disaster
            A    D
We ain't giving up!

 D
And I am the outsider
    G            D
A horse with no rider
   G        D
Shelter provider
                             A
When the judgement day has come
    D
And I am the survivor
      G               D
Not laying down and Die-er
       G         D
An Innocents confider
          A    D
And I am only one
