Underdog - Alicia Keys - Chords

  Am   F    C

Ooh, ooh, ooh

  Am   F    C

Ooh, ooh, ooh



                       Am                     F

She was walking in the street, looked up and noticed

       G                        G

He was nameless, he was homeless

                 Am                     F

She asked him his name and told him what hers was

              G

He gave her a story 'bout life

                    Am                    F

With a glint in his eye and a corner of a smile

           G               C       G

One conversation, a simple moment

                Am              F

The things that change us if we notice

        G

When we look up sometimes

 


          Am            F

They said I would never make it

          G                  C     G

But I was built to break the mold

         Am                   F             G

The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

 

 

[Chorus]

                         Am                      F

So I sing a song for the hustlers trading at the bus stop

       G                    C        G

Single mothers waiting on a check to come

      Am                F

Young teachers, student doctors

            G                             C      G

Sons on the front line knowing they don't get to run

Am                   F

This goes out to the Underdog

G                  C        G

Keep on keeping at what you love

       Am                F

You'll find that someday soon enough

         G

You will rise up, rise up, yeah

 


Am   F    G   C  G

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Am   F    G   C  G

Ooh, ooh, ooh



                  Am               F

She's riding in a taxi back to the kitchen

               G                                      G

Talking to the driver 'bout his wife and his children

                  Am                            F

On the run from a country where they put you in prison

            G

For being a woman and speaking your mind

                  Am                        F

She looked in his eyes in the mirror and he smiled

           G               C       G

One conversation, a single moment

                Am              F

The things that change us if we notice

        G

When we look up sometimes

 


          Am            F

          G                  C     G

But I was built to break the mold

         Am                   F             G

The only dream that I've been chasing is my own

Everybody rise up
