Stevie Wonder, Uptight (Everything's Alright) (1966)
Key: :[C#] (w: Stevie Wonder, Sylvia Moy, Henry Cosby)
INTRO: [C#] [B/C#] :
[x4]
CHORUS:
[C#] Baby,
[B/C#] ev'rything is alright
[C#] Uptight,
[B/C#] out of sight
[C#] Baby,
[B/C#] ev'rything is alright
[C#] Uptight,
[B/C#] out of sight
VERSE 1:
I'm a
[C#] poorman's son, from across the
[B/C#] railroad tracks
The
[C#] only shirt I own is
[B/C#] hangin' on my back
But
[C#] I'm the envy of ev'ry
[B/C#] single guy
Since
[C#] I'm the apple of
[B/C#] my girl's eye
VERSE 2:
When
[C#] we go out stepping on the
[B/C#] town for a while
My
[C#] money's low and my
[B/C#] suit's out of style
But it's
[C#] alright if my
[B/C#] clothes aren't new
[C#] Out of sight because my
[B/C#] heart is true, she says
REPEAT CHORUS:
BREAK: [C#] [B/C#] :
[x4]
VERSE 3:
She's a
[C#] pearl of a girl, I guess that's
[B/C#] what you might say
I
[C#] guess her folks brought her
[B/C#] up that way
The
[C#] right side of the tracks, she was
[B/C#] born and raised
In a
[C#] great big old house, full of
[B/C#] butlers and maids
VERSE 4:
[C#] No one is
[B/C#] better than I
[C#] I know I'm just an
[B/C#] average guy
No
[C#] football hero or
[B/C#] smooth Don Juan
Got
[C#] empty pockets, you see I'm a
[B/C#] poorman's son
VERSE 5:
Can't
[C#] give her the things that
[B/C#] money can buy
But I'll
[C#] never, never make my
[B/C#] baby cry
And it's
[C#] alright, what
[B/C#] I can't do
[C#] Out of sight because my
[B/C#] heart is true, she says
REPEAT CHORUS: [x3]
