1014- The Outcasts ©2024 by Rob Lincoln (Capo 5)
G Bm C Am G Bm C
I went looking for intelligent life but I saw nothing
G Bm C Am G Em C
Only hatred fear and strife there was nothing here to bring
G D G
No wisdom here to sing
We sent our probes to the farthest of places and found so many wondrous things
But in the blue planet there were only traces of what their love could bring
No wisdom here to sing
Chorus
Am D
What we saw were lives lived in fear
Am G
What we saw they were clinging to the past
Am Bm
What we saw they could only shed a tear
C D
For those they knew but the others were outcasts
We moved swiftly like their own hover craft but they wanted so bad to shoot us down
In their little feeble minds they could not be still
Or to be too kind for what they did not understand they would just kill
Chorus
Instrumental
Bridge
F#m Bm
Pretty soon we will depart
F#m Em
Hopeless to think they would advance
F#m Bm
Rather not begin no reason here to start
F#m Em A
They will never have a chance no chance
As we move on beyond the galaxy there’s so much promise far ahead
Many blue planets that are much further away
That do not live their lives in dread
And have heard what we have said

A GD A GD
It’s in her feet can you feel it?
A GD E
Ain’t rock and roll but it’s still fine
It can’t be beat no one can steal it
You know she knows she ain’t deaf or blind
C G D
But she’s got to lose your mind
A G D
One happy soul 2x
It’s in the air you can breathe it
She’s everywhere inside your head today
The beat is fast but you must need it
You tap your feet but have nothing to say
But she’s now inside your mind
One happy soul 4x
Instrumental 8x
It’s in her soul now you know it
She cannot stop the music’s everywhere
You feel whole and you show it
As you smile along and sing with her
And no more trouble’s on your mind
One happy soul 4x
Longer Instrumental 16x
One happy soul

Love this song! Such a great voice, Steve!

[@LoriCitro]

They both sound great. Really love the second rousting number. Should you be doing those backups?!

[@roblincolnsongs]

@@LoriCitro I decided to test out my voice. I have to be pretty careful and the doctor and voice therapist said that I should not overdo it. I can still talk a bit and sing softly but crappily. That’s pretty soft actually. Thanks for your concern😊
