This is the chords of Underdog by Alicia Keys on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.
[Intro]
Am F C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F C
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Am F G C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Am F G C G
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
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
