Uptown And Down Ukulele

(ver. 1)
Melanie Safka
Melanie-Uptown And Down

I haven't heard the studio version yet but I have heard the Leftover Wine
live version so thats what I'm doing. You need a capo around 3rd fret I'm guessing.

Intro riff:
      A       Asus4/6       A7#3
   e -----------------------------------------------------------------------|
   b -2--2----2h3-3--3-3----5--5----2h3-3---3-3-----------------------------|
   G -2--2----2---2--2-2----2--2----2---2---2-2-----------------------------|
   D -2--2----2h4-4--4-4----5--5----2h4-4---4-4-----------------------------|
   A -0--0----0---0--0-0----0--0----0---0---0-0-----------------------------|
   E -----------------------------------------------------------------------|

you play that repeatedly through the verse.

Verse 1:
                 A
   You know I've been to New York
   Asus4/6
   Uptown and down
       A7#3
   And if you been there
        Asus4/6
   Well you've been around
         A
   And I couldn't care less
          Asus4/6
   If you lov'd me or not,
      A7#3       Asus4/6
   Oh yes, But I almost forgot

Chorus:
 D  E          A
   How are the people back home?
 D  E                   A
   Tell them I've got a show of my own
 D  E
   Don't say
       A
   You think that I've grown.

Verse 2:
              A
   I've grown used to the people
   Asus4/6
   Tellin' me I'm pretty
       A7#3
   And used to the nights
            Asus4/6
   With the boys in the city,
            A
   And they couldn't care less
        Asus4/6
   If I loved them or not,
             A7#3
   I've been looking real hard,
         Asus4/6
   But I don't know for what

Chorus:
 D  E          A
   How are the people back home?
 D  E                A
   Tell them I got a show of my own
 D     E                    A
   But sometimes I wish I'd never left home.

Verse 3:
        A
   I've been to New York
   Asus4/6
   Uptown and Down
       A7#3
   And if you been there
        Asus4/6
   Well you've been around
         A
   And I couldn't care less
          Asus4/6
   If you lov'd me or not,
        A7#3
   No I couldn't care less
         Asus4/6                A  Asus4/6  A7#3
   But I guess care a whole lot
        A
   I've been to New York
   Asus4/6
   Uptown and down,
       A7#3
   And if you been there
        Asus4/6
   Well you've been around
         A
   And I couldn't care less
          Asus4/6
   If you lov'd me or not,
      A7#3   Asus4/6
   Oh yes, I guess
         A
   I care a whole
   Asus4/6   A7#3  Asus4/6
   Lot.
    A               Asus4/6            A7#3
   Yeah, I wouldn't be here if I didn't care
  Asus4/6   A   Asus4/6  A7#3  Asus4/6  A
   a whole lot.

Honestly I really don't know the exact names of some of the chords
in the song. (A recurring theme in my tabs)
