Intro:

D C/D (x3)

Chorus 1:

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Verse 1:

I’m a poorman’s son,
From across the [C/D]railroad tracks,
The only shirt I own,
Is [C/D]hangin’ on my back.
But I’m the envy of every [C/D]single guy,
Since I’m the apple of [C/D]my girl’s eye.

When we go out stepping,
On the [C/D]town for a while,
My money’s low and,
My [C/D]suit’s out of style,

Bridge 1:

But it’s all right;
If my [C/D]clothes aren’t new,
Out of sight;
Because my[C/D] heart is true.
She says;

Chorus 2:

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Verse 2:

She’s a pearl of a girl,
I guess that’s [C/D]what you might say,
I guess her folks,
Brought her u[C/D]p that way.

The right side of the tracks,
She was [C/D]born and raised,
In a great big old house,
Full of [C/D]butlers and maids.

Bridge 2:

No one;
Is b[C/D]etter than I,
I know;
I’m just an [C/D]average guy.

Verse 3:

No football hero,
Or s[C/D]mooth Don Juan,
Got empty pockets, you see;
I’m a [C/D]poorman’s son.

Can’t give her the things,
That [C/D]money can buy,
But I’ll never, never,
Make my [C/D]baby cry,

Bridge 3:

And it’s all right;
What [C/D]I can’t do,
Out of sight;
Because my [C/D]heart is true,
She says;

Chorus 3:

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.
She says;

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.
She says;

Coda:

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
Ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah.
She says;

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Baby;
[C/D] Ev’rything is all right,
Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.
