Underdog Live chords by Alicia Keys

Intro:
  Am   F    C  G   C  G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
  Am   F    C  G   C  G
Ooh, ooh, ooh


Verse 1:
                       Am                     Fmaj7
She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed
       C      G                C*
He was nameless, he was homeless
      Cmaj7        Am                     Fmaj7
She asked him his name and told him what hers was
              C    G    C    G
He gave her a story 'bout life
                    Am                    Fmaj7
With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile
     C      G               C*
One conversation, a simple moment
      Cmaj7      Am              Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
  C     G        C    G
When we look up sometimes

Pre-Chorus:
          Am            Fmaj7
They said I would never make it
          C   G              C  G
But I was built to break the mold
         Am                   Fmaj7          C  G
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own


Chorus:
                         Am                      F
So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop
C      G                    C*        Cmaj7
Single mothers waiting on a check to come
      Am                Fmaj7
Young teachers, student doctors
            G                             C*      Cmaj7
Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run
Am                   Fmaj7
This goes out to the Underdog
G                  C*        Cmaj7
Keep on keeping at what you love
       Am                Fmaj7
You'll find that someday soon enough
         C    G    C   G
You will rise up, rise up, yeah


Post-Chorus:
 Am   F    C  G   C  G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
 Am   F    C  G   C  G
Ooh, ooh, ooh


Verse 2:
                  Am               Fmaj7
She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen
        C       G                         C       G
Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children
                  Am                            Fmaj7
On the run from a country where they put you in prison
       C     G
For being a woman and speaking your mind
                  Am                        Fmaj7
She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled
     C      G               C       G
One conversation, a single moment
                Am              Fmaj7
The things that change us if we notice
        C        G
When we look up sometimes


Pre-Chorus:
          Am            Fmaj7

          C   G              C  G
But I was built to break the mold
         Am                   Fmaj7          C  G
The only dream that I've been chasing is my own
