Uptown chords (version 1)
The Crystals

Capo III

   Am
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown
                                                    C
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land
              E
He's a little mad

                   A
But then, he comes uptown each ev'nin' to my tenement
F#m
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent
    D                                                  F#m
And when he's there with me, he can see that he's everything
          F              Dm            A
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king

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

                   A
But then, he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high
F#m
Uptown, he knows at I'll be standing by
    D                                                      F#m
And when I take his hand, there's no man who could put him down
             F                  Dm               A
The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown

A                   F#m
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
                              A
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
                         F#m

             F                  Dm               A
The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown
A                   F#m
Whoa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa-oa
                              A
