Uptown(Keyboard chords)

	        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 
          G#             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
