Uptown Uptempo Woman Chords by Randy Edelman

_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] It started out in innocence, _ [Cm] the way that most things do _
[Bb] A thousand [F] people crammed in one [Eb] place, but the only [Bb] face was you
I grabbed your hand and we raced out, [C] hardly said a word
I'd only [F] seen you for a minute, but I was [Bb] round in third _
_ And we [Dm] traded on our backgrounds, [Eb] you mentioned I [F] seemed shy
_ Then you laughed [Bb] and said I'm an uptown, uptown for a woman
You're a downtown, downbeat [Gm] guy
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Within a week I'd moved in, [Cm] at her uptown east side place
[F] We'd make love for [Eb] hours on a bed of silk [C] and lace _
[Bb] She would get up early, _ [Cm] come home late at night
[F] She had important business, but [Eb] my [F] prospects all seemed [Bb] sly _ _ _
[Dm] Tired on some evenings, [Eb] she'd get [F] mad and cry
_ _ [Bb] I'm an uptown, uptown for a woman
You're a downtown, downbeat [Gm] guy
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] Well the [Bb] romance soon was over, [Cm] the lust was turning thin
_ [F] And I soon began to realize the [Eb] mess I'd [C] gotten in _
[Bb] But as always happens, _ [Cm] you're caught in such a trap
You [F] get so used to what's around [Eb] that you can't find [Bb] your way back
_ So [Dm] I lived with this arrangement, _ [Eb] _ soon [F] learned to _ despise
_ [Bb] The uptown, uptown for a woman
And the [C] downtown, [Bb] downbeat guy
[Gm] _ _ [Cm] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [Bb] _ Then one Saturday in March, [Cm] I decided I would go
_ [F] As I was going nowhere [Eb] and my mind was [C] getting slow _
[Bb] So I opened all the closets, [Cm] there wasn't much to pack
[F] I felt bad not telling her [Eb] that I wasn't coming [Bb] back _ _
[Dm] But this day she was early, she looked at [F] me and asked why
_ I said why
_ _ [Bb] You're an uptown, uptown for a woman
[C] And I'm a downtown, [Bb] downbeat guy
[Gm] _ _
[Cm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ You're an uptown, uptown for a woman
[C] I'm a downtown, [Bb] downbeat [Gm] guy
_ _ [Cm] _ _ [F] _ Downtown, [Bb] downbeat guy
_ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
