Uptown girl

Em                        D/F#
 She's been living in her uptown world

G          A           D

 I'm gonna try for an

 She's been living in her white bread world

G           A           D
 As long as anyone with hot blood can

Em                           D/F#
 And now she's looking for a downtown man

G              A
 That's what I am

 


Bb           Gm
And when she knows what

    Cm             F
She wants from her time

Bb           Gm
And when she wakes up

    Am7-5        D7
And makes up her mind

G              Em
She'll see I'm not so tough

Am
Just because

I'm in love with an

 


D
Uptown girl

Em                             D/F#
 You know I've seen her in her uptown world

G              A            D
 She's getting tired of her high class toys

Em                             D/F#
 And all the presents from her uptown boys

G            A
 She's got a choice

 
 

F            G               E               Am      G

Uptown girl

Em                          D/F#
 You know I can't afford to buy her pearls

G          A               D
 But maybe someday when my ship comes in

Em                              D/F#
 She'll understand what kind of guy I've been

G              A
 And then I'll win

 
 

Bb             Gm
And when she's walking

      Cm         F
She's looking so fine

Bb             Gm
And when she's talking

       Am7-5          D7
She'll say that she's mine

G              Em
She'll say I'm not so tough

Am
Just because

A
I'm in love with an
