[D] Baby;
[C/D] Ev'rything is all right,

Verse 1:
I'm a [D]poorman's son,
From across the [C/D]railroad tracks,
The [D]only shirt I own,
Is [C/D]hangin' on my back.
But [D]I'm the envy of every [C/D]single guy,
Since [D]I'm the apple of [C/D]my girl's eye.
When [D]we go out stepping,
On the [C/D]town for a while,
My [D]money's low and,
My [C/D]suit's out of style,
Bridge 1:
But it's [D]all right;
If my [C/D]clothes aren't new,
[D] Out of sight;
Because my[C/D] heart is true.
She says;

Verse 2:
She's a [D]pearl of a girl,
I guess that's [C/D]what you might say,
I [D]guess her folks,
Brought her u[C/D]p that way.
The [D]right side of the tracks,
She was [C/D]born and raised,
In a [D]great big old house,
Full of [C/D]butlers and maids.
Bridge 2:
[D] No one;
Is b[C/D]etter than I,
[D] I know;
I'm just an [C/D]average guy.
Verse 3:
No [D]football hero,
Or s[C/D]mooth Don Juan,
Got [D]empty pockets, you see;
I'm a [C/D]poorman's son.
Can't [D]give her the things,
That [C/D]money can buy,
But I'll [D]never, never,
Make my [C/D]baby cry,
Bridge 3:
And it's [D]all right;
What [C/D]I can't do,
[D] Out of sight;
Because my [C/D]heart is true,
She says;
Chorus 3:
[D] Baby;
[C/D] Ev'rything is all right,

[D] Uptight;
[C/D] Out of sight.

Ah hah hah, hah hah, yeah.
