C5 
He gets up each morning and he goes downtown 
                                                    Eb5  
Where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land 
              G5  
He's a little man 
 

                  C5 
But then he comes uptown each ev'nin' to my tenement 
A5                               E5       A5 
Uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent 
F5                                                     A5           
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything 
          G#5             F5            C5  
Then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king 
 
Downtown he's just one of a million guys 
He don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give 
'cause he's got to live 
 
But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high 
Uptown he knows that I am standing by 
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down 
The world is sweet, it's at his feet when he's uptown 
 
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh 
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah 
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh-yeah 
 
Let me tell ya now 
 
Uptown where he can hold his head up high 
Uptown he knows that I am standing by 
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down 
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown
