Uptown  

Cm
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
                                                     Eb 
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land
              G 
He's a little man

                  C
But then he comes uptown each ev'nin' to my tenement
Am                               Em7       Am
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
F                                                     Am                    
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything
          Ab             Fm            C 
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king

Downtown he's just one of a million guys
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give
'cause he's got to live

But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown

Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah

Let me tell ya now

Uptown where he can hold his head up high
Uptown he knows that I am standing by
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
