Song: Standing On The Outside By: Cold Chisel Album: Chisel Transcribed by: Russell Edwards [email protected] [Verse]
    D                  A    G
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in

    D                  A    Bm
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in

      Am         Em         G        D
Whoa-oh, I never strayed outside the law

    D                  A    G
I'm standing on the outside lookin' in

    D                A       Bm
A room full of money and I'm born to win

     Am                 Em           G           D
And no amount of work's gonna get me through the door

     D            A    G
When I go walkin' down Blue Water bay

    D                  A     Bm
I surface in the city at the end of the day

      Am         Em  G           D
Whoa-oh, I got a bad case of the benz

    D                  A    G
I'm standing on the sidewalk you can see

D             A    Bm
Somebody everybody wants to be

     Am                   Em      G     D
But they got the means to justify every end

  D                  A       G
I got a friend broke through illegally

         D              A    Bm
Pulled a job on a small town t.a.b.

Am                     Em         G        D
Five grand down on his own little piece of Eden
[Bridge] (Single strums)
D
And I know ...

D
And I know ...
(Resume full strumming)
    E                          A
The first thing I'll do when I get into town

         F#             B
Is buy a 22 and cut the whole thing down

G                         C             B    A  G 
No amount of work's gonna buy my way to free-ee-dom
[Short break] [Chorus]
    E              A

     B        A      E

I'm standing on the outside lookin' in
