E            F#m
 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
 

E
Uptown girl
F#m                        G#m  
 She's been living in her uptown world
A          B           E
 I bet she never had a back street guy
F#m                    G#m  
 I bet her mama never told her why
A          B
 I'm gonna try for an

E
Uptown girl
F#m                       G#m  
 She's been living in her white bread world
A           B           E
 As long as anyone with hot blood can
F#m                           G#m  
 And now she's looking for a downtown man
A              B
 That's what I am
 
 
Bridge :
 
C           Am
And when she knows what
    Dm             G
She wants from her time
C           Am
And when she wakes up
    Dm6        E7
And makes up her mind
A              F#m
She'll see I'm not so tough
Bm
Just because

I'm in love with an
 
 
Chorus :
 
E
Uptown girl
F#m                             G#m  
 You know I've seen her in her uptown world
A              B            E
 She's getting tired of her high class toys
F#m                             G#m  
 And all the presents from her uptown boys
A            B
 She's got a choice

G            A               F#               Bm      A

F#m                          G#m  
 You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
A          B               E
 But maybe someday when my ship comes in
F#m                              G#m  
 She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
A              B
 And then I'll win

C             Am
And when she's walking

She's looking so fine
C             Am
And when she's talking
       Dm6          E7
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
