Up-town girl, she's been liv-ing
-6 6 -6b -5 -6b
in her up-town world
-5b 5 -5b -5 -5b 5 -4 4 -7 -7
I bet she nev-er had a back street guy
-7 -6 -7 7 -7 -6 6 6 -5 -5
I bet her ma-ma nev-er told her why
-5b 5 -5b -5 -6b -6 7 7 7
I'm gon-na try for an up-town girl
-6 7 -7 7 -6 -6b -6b -5 -6b
She's been liv-ing in her white bread world
-5b 5 -5b -5 -5b -5 -4 4 7 -7
As long as an-y-one with hot blood can
7 -6 7 -7 7 -6 -6b -6b -5 -6b
And now she's look-ing for a down-town man
-5b 5 -5b -5
That's what I am
-6b 7 8 -8 7 -8 -7
And when she knows what she wants
-6 -7 -7 7 -6
from her ti-yi-ime (Time)
-6b 7 8 -8 7
And when she wakes up
-8 -7 -6 -7 -7 7 -6
and makes up her mi-yi-ind (mind)
-56b -56b -6 7 -6 -6b
She'll see I'm not so tough,
-6 -6b -5 -6 -6b -5
just be-cause I'm in love
-6b -6 7 7 7
with an up-town girl
7 -6 7 -7 7 -6 -6b -6b -5 -5
You know I've seen her in her up-town world
-5b 5 -5b -5 5 -4 4 7 -7
She's get-ting tired of her high class toys
7 -6 7 -7 7 7 -6 -6b -5 -5
And all her pres-ents from her up-town boys
-5b -5 -5b -5
She's got a choice
Verse 2 same as 1
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 walking, she's looking so fine
And when she's talking, she'll say that she's mine
She'll say I'm not so tough, just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
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
Uptown girl, she's my uptown girl
Don't You know I'm in love with an uptown girl
My uptown girl (She’s an uptown girl, going up)
repeat 3 times
ENJOY!!
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
