[Intro]

[Verse]
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!
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 is been restored
A D
While the son of the rebel saint
[Chorus]
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!
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
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!
[Outro]
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
