Intro:

G  F/G (x3)

Chorus 1:

G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.

Verse 1:

      G                              F/G
I'm a poorman's son, from across the railroad tracks,
    G                   F/G
The only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.
    G                     F/G
But I'm the envy of every single guy,
      G                F/G
Since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.
     G                         F/G
When we go out stepping on the town, for a while,
   G                   F/G
My money's low, and my suit's out of style.

Bridge 1:

         G                F/G
But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,
G                         F/G
 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

Chorus 2:

G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.

Verse 2:

        G                               F/G
She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,
  G                           F/G
I guess her folks brought her up that way.
    G                                 F/G
The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised,
     G                           F/G
In a great big old house full of butlers and maids.

Bridge 2:

G           F/G
 No one, is better than I,
G                    F/G
 I know; I'm just an average guy.

Verse 3:

   G                 F/G
No football hero, or smooth Don Juan,
    G                             F/G
Got empty pockets, you see; I'm a poor man's son.
      G                        F/G
Can't give her the things that money can buy,
         G                    F/G
But I'll never, never make my baby cry.

Bridge 3:

         G               F/G
And it's all right, what I can't do,
G                         F/G
 Out of sight, because my heart is true. She says...

Chorus 3:

G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight. She says...

G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight. She says...

Coda:

G     F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right,
G        F/G
 Uptight;  ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah. She says...
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
G     F/G                       G        F/G
 Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight; out of sight.
