Uptown

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

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

Then he's tall, he don't crawl, 
     C
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
