(fill drum)

E  F♯m7  E/G♯  A B  w/ (Oh)

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she never had a back street guy
I bet her mama never told her why
I'm gonna try

For an uptown girl                                    w/ choeur qui répète
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

  C            Am             Dm             G
  And when she knows what she wants from her time
  C            Am           B°           E7
  And when she wakes up and makes up her mind
  A              F♯m
  She'll see I'm not so tough
  Bm           B
  Just because I'm in love

With an uptown girl                                   w/ choeur
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

G  A  F♯/A♯  Bm A
                   w/ (Oh)
G  A  F♯/A♯  B

Uptown girl
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
But maybe someday when my ship comes in
She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
And then I'll win

  And when she's walkin', she's looking so fine
  And when she's talkin', she'll say that she's mine
  She'll say I'm not so tough
  Just because I'm in love

With and uptown girl                                  reste, w/ (Oh)
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

G  A  F♯/A♯  Bm A
                   w/ (Oh)
G  A  F♯/A♯  B

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl             x 5
You know I'm in love with an...
