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