I'm Glad I'm On The Inside Looking Out chords by Hank Snow

Verse 1:
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

Verse 2:
                        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

Chorus:
                        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

Verse 3:
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

Verse 4:
                         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

Verse 5:
                      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

Chorus:
                        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

Verse 6:
     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
