I used to wear jeans I'm in Italian slacks
G C C G G C C G
Had long shaggy hair It's cut short and slicked back
G B C C#dim
I drank three dollar wine Now it's cocktails at two
G F C Bb G
Because Downtown came Uptown for you
[Verse]

I used to think that Coke Came in bottles or can
G C C G G C C G
Silk underwear Wasn't right on a man
G B C C#dim
Hush puppies and sneakers Now it's alligator shoes
G F C Bb G
Because Downtown came Uptown for you
[Chorus]
C7 G
Well you told me that you loved me
C7 G
Said I could be your man
C G
Ah, but then you said I had no more style
G G# A D
Than a rat in a garbage can
[Verse]
G C C G G C C G
So you took me uptown You made your driver wait
G C C G G C C G
Taught me how to eat snails Caviar on a plate
G B C C#dim
No more sittin' in the alley with the boys drinking booze
G F C Bb G
Because Downtown came Uptown for you
[Solo]
G G G G G B C C#dim G F C Bb G
[Chorus]
C7 G
Well you told me that you loved me

Said I could be your man

Than a rat in a garbage can
