Hank Snow – Im Glad Im On The Inside Looking Out (Guitar)

C                   F               C
In the days of Noah just before the flood

                                        G7
When the wicked world had all forgotten God

        C                       F
Brother Noah built a boat which above God's wrath did float

        G7                                C
And the people saw that they were made of mud

                        F                   C
As the doors stood open with the gang plank out

                                   G7
Noah and his family entered with a shout

         C
When the scoffers stretched their necks

             F
Noah stepped out on the deck and said

       G7                             C
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out

                        F              C
Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out

        F                           C
Than to be upon the outside looking in

         G7                 C
When the rain began to fall sinners on the Lord did call

        D7                          G7
But the door was shut and night was setting in

C                      F              C
Then old Noah from the window looking out

         F                       C
Gazed to heaven beyond the water spout

       G7                         C                 F
And he said I thank the Lord that I took Him at his word

       G7                             C
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out

                         F            C
Good old Daniel lived in Babylon long ago

                                       G7
And he had the grace to tell the devil no

       C
Though he prayed three times a day

       F
In the good old fashioned way

     G7                            C
They said he to the lions den must go

                      F              C
And lions made him welcomed to their home

                                 G7
For they knew he was nothing but backbone

         C                               F
When the king looked in and said are you alive or are you dead

       G7                                C
He was stirred as Daniel spoke in gentle tone

                        F              C
Oh I'd rather be on the inside looking out

        F                           C
Than to be upon the outside looking in

          G7                     C
While you paced the palace floor I had naught to do but snore

      D7                          G7
Jesus put a padlock on each lions chin

     C                   F              C
Good old Daniel from the inside looking out

      F                           C
Don’t you think that he felt good enough to shout

        G7                          C                  F
Then he said long live the king and then started in to sing

       G7                             C
I'm so glad I'm on the inside looking out
