Intro:C E Am F C G x2

C                  E
Drank in a pub on a saturday night
Am
 Me and the boys were feelin` alright
F                                 C
Then we walked the streets feelin` loads of pride
          G
Proud with our roots and our way of lives...
C                               E
Then stood some geezers tried to steal the night
Am
 Stared at us, tried to pick a fight
F                           C
Me and the boys were waiting for the start
               G
As we prepared for an aggro, oh! what a night....


Pre Chorus:
F
That`s the story of how our lives go
C
We have been treated like a bunch of snucked up fools
G
Scorned by many, understood by few
F
There`s not much things left for us to do
E
Don`t wanna go back to dark days of mine
F
Where i`ve gone too far, i could`ve killed someone
C
But i don`t wanna sit down behaving like a cunt
G.................................................
 While watching my mates doing the best they can

Chorus:
.............           C
In the streets of uptown
          E
ooooooooohhhhh!
             Am
Streets of uptown
F
It is our ups and our downs.....
C                      G
And it goes around and around....
                     C
In the streets of uptown
E
Ooooooooooh!
              Am
Streets of uptown
          F
It is our laugh and our tears
   C                 G
And it will last for years
