               A                                                - G

1. I'm a poor man's son, from across the         railroad tracks,

            A                          G

    the only shirt I own is hangin' on my back.

            A                              G

    But I'm the envy of ev'ry single guy,

               A                      G

    since I'm the apple of my girl's eye.

                     A                                  G

    When we go out stepping on the town for a while,

             A                              G

    my money's low and my suit's out of style,

 

                 A                     G

    But it's all right, if my clothes aren't new,

      A                                      G

    out of sight because my heart is true, she says ....

 

  A       G                              A           G

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, out of sight.

  A       G                             A            G

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.

 

+ A - G (4x)

 

                    A                                            G

2. She's a pearl of a girl, I guess that's what you might say,

         A                                        G

    I guess her folks brought her up that way.

                     A                                         G

    The right side of the tracks, she was born and raised

               A                                      G

    in a great big old house, full of butlers and maids.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                      A              G

    She says, no one is better than I,

         A                            G

    but I know I'm just an average guy,

 

            A                          G

3. No football hero or smooth Don Juan,

           A                                                G

    got empty pockets, you see, I'm a poor man's son.

               A                                    G

    Can't give her the things that money can buy,

                A                                  G

    but I'll never, never make my baby cry,

 

                  A                  G

    And it's all right, what I can't do,

     A                                      G

    out of sight because my heart is true, she says ...

 

  A       G                              A             G

Baby, ev'rything is all right, uptight, clean out of sight.

  A       G                              A           G

Baby, ev'rything is alright, uptight, clean out of sight.
