[D]Uptown girl[Em]
She's been living in her [F#m]uptown world[G]
I bet she [A]never had a [D]back street guy[Em]
I bet her mama never [F#m]told her why[G]
I'm gonna [A]try for an
[D]Uptown girl[Em]
She's been living in her [F#m]white bread world[G]
As long as [A]anyone with [D]hot blood can[Em]
And now she's looking for a [F#m]downtown man[G]
That's what I [A]am
[Bb]And when she [Gm]knows what
She [Cm]wants from her [F]time
[Bb]And when she [Gm]wakes up
And [Cm]makes up her [F]mind
[G]She'll see I'm [Em]not so tough
[C]Just because
[A]I'm in love with an
[D]Uptown girl[Em]
You know I've seen her in her [F#m]uptown world[G]
She's getting [A]tired of her [D]high class toys[Em]
And all her presents from her [F#m]uptown boys[G]
She's got a [A]choice

[D]Uptown girl[Em]
You know I can't afford to [F#m]buy her pearls[G]
But maybe [A]someday when my [D]ship comes in[Em]
She'll understand what kind of [F#m]guy I've been[G]
And then I'll [A]win
[Bb]And when she's [Gm]walking
She's [Cm]looking so [F]fine
[Bb]And when she's [Gm]talking
She'll [Cm]say that she's [F]mine
[G]She'll say I'm [Em]not so tough
[C]Just because

With an [E]uptown girl[F#m]
My uptown [G#m]girl
You [A]know I'm in [B]love
With an [E]uptown girl[F#m]

You [A]know I'm in [B]love
With an [E]uptown girl[F#m]
My uptown [G#m]girl
Repeat to fade...
Let me know what you think...
