UPTOWN GIRL written by BILLY JOEL

Comic Relief time....
I've been playing along to Westlife's version of this on The Box, and I've worked out the chords....
Assuming Billy Joel's version is in the same key, this is also right for the original.

Em	022000
F#m	244222
G	320033   or	355433 (use barre in bridge)
A	x02220
Bb	x13331
Gm	355333
Cm	x35543
F	133211
C	x32010
G/Ab	455433	use your thumb over the top to play this, or 4554xx if you don't play that way
Am	x02210
E	022100

Uptown girl
			 F#m           G
She's been living in her uptown world
	  A           D               Em
I bet she never had a back street guy
                     F#m	   G
I bet her mama never told her why

I'm gonna try for an

D           Em
Uptown girl
                         F#m                G
She's been living in her white bread world
           A           D              Em
As long as anyone with hot blood can
                            F#m            G
And now she's looking for a downtown man
              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
    Cm           F

She'll see I'm not so tough

Just because

D            Em
Uptown girl
 			      F#m           G
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
              A            D               Em
She's getting tired of her high class toys
                              F#m            G
And all her presents from her uptown boys
            A
She's got a choice

F            G               G/Ab            Am      G

You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
          A               D               Em
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
                               F#m            G
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
              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
       Cm             F
She'll say that she's mine
G              Em
She'll say I'm not so tough
C
Just because
A
I'm in love with an

With an uptown girl
          G#m
