From 'Uptight (Everything's Alright)' (1966) (Original Key: C#) (Transposed one Semi-tone higher) Intro: D C/D (x3) Chorus 1: D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. Verse 1: D C/D I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks, D C/D The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back. D C/D But I'm the envy of every single guy, D C/D Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye. D C/D When we go out stepping on the town, for a while, D C/D My money's low, and my suit's out of style. Bridge 1: D C/D But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new, D C/D Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says... Chorus 2: D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. Verse 2: D C/D She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say, D C/D I guess her folks brought her up that way. D C/D The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised, D C/D In a great big old house full of butlers and maids. Bridge 2: D C/D No one, is better than I, D C/D I know; I'm just an average guy. Verse 3: D C/D No football hero, or smooth Don Juan, D C/D Got empty pockets, you see; I'm a poor man's son. D C/D Can't give her the things that money can buy, D C/D But I'll never, never make my baby cry. Bridge 3: D C/D And it's all right, what I can't do, D C/D Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says... Chorus 3: D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. She says... D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. She says... Coda: D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah. She says... D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. D C/D Baby, ev'rything is all right, D C/D Uptight; out of sight. (Repeat to Fade) Beginner's Corner:
D = D/DF#A
C/D = D/C E
Sometimes the inversions will look like this:
D = D/F#AD
C/D = D/C#EA
Another somewhat easy song to play is "A Place In The Sun."
