Uptown

He gets up each mornin' and he goes downtown,

where ev'ryone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land,

he's a little man.

But then he comes (C)uptown each evening to my tenement,

(Am)uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.

And (F)when he's there with me,

he can see that he's ev'rything.

The Then he's (Ab)tall, it's he don't (Fm7)crawl,

when he's a (C)king.

(Cm)Downtown he's just one of a million guys,

where he don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give,

'cause he's gotta live.

But then he comes (C)uptown where he can hold his head up high,

(Am)uptown he knows that I'll be standin' by.

And (F)when I take his hand,

there's no man who can put him down.

The world is (Ab)sweet, it's at his (Fm7)feet when he's up (C)king.

town, oh,

(C)town, oh,

(Am)oh.

(C)Oh,

(Am)oh.

(C)Oh,

(Am)oh.
