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