He gets up each morning and he goes downtown,
                                                    D#
where everyone's his boss and he's lost in an angry land..

But then, he comes uptown each evening to my tenement,
Am                               Em7      Am
uptown where folks don't have to pay much rent.
F                                                     Am
And when he's there with me he can see that he's everything,
          G#             Fm            C
then he's tall, he don't crawl, he's a king.

Downtown he's just one of a million guys,
                                                    D#
he don't get no breaks and he takes all they got to give..
                  G

But then he comes uptown where he can hold his head up high,
Am              Em7       Am

    F                                                     Am
And when I take his hand there's no man who could put him down.
             G#                 Fm                C
The world is sweet, it's at his feet, when he's uptown.
