Title: Uptown Girl Artist: Me First And The Gimme Gimmes Transcribed by: Alan Good Anyone who'se Irish or British probably hates this song, due to the terrible Westlife version of it that was played endlessly on the radio a few years back. However this version by a little-known band called Me First And The Gimme Gimmes is actually pretty cool. It's done in a sort of punk-ska style, so turn up the distortion on your guitar! You can find song easily on the net, although a lot of the files are mis-named and say that it is done by Weezer (gotta agree, his voice sounds very similar to Rivers Cuomo) Anyway, here's how i play it, enjoy Standard Tuning (EBGDAE) Chords Used: E5 F#5 G5 G#5 A5 Bb5 B5 C5 D5 Em E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| G---------------------------------------5----7----9-----------------------------------| D----2----4----5----6----7----8----9----5----7----9-----------------------------------| A----2----4----5----6----7----8----9----3----5----7-----------------------------------| E----0----2----3----4----5----6----7--------------------------------------------------| E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#5 She's been living in her uptown world A5 B5 E5 F#5 I bet she never had a back street guy G#5 I bet her mama never told her why A5 B5 I'm gonna try for an E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#m She's been living in her white bread world A5 B5 E5 F#5 As long as anyone with hot blood can G#5 And now she's looking for a downtown man A5 B5 That's what I am C5 A5 And when she knows what D5 G5 She wants from her time C5 A5 And when she wakes up D5 G5 And makes up her mind C5 G5 She'll see I'm not so tough A5 Just because B5 I'm in love with an E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#m You know I've seen her in her uptown world A5 B5 E5 F#5 She's getting tired of her high class toys G#m And all her presents from her uptown boys A5 B5 She's got a choice G5 A5 Bb5 B5 A5 Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah G5 A5 Bb5 B5 Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#m You know I can't afford to buy her pearls A5 B5 E F#5 But maybe someday when my ship comes in G#m She'll understand what kind of guy I've been A5 B5 And then I'll win C5 A5 And when she's walking D5 G5 She's looking so fine C5 A5 And when she's talking D5 G5 She'll say that she's mine C5 G5 She'll say I'm not so tough A5 Just because B5 I'm in love with an E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#m She's been living in her white bread world A5 B5 E5 F#5 As long as anyone with hot blood can G#5 And now she's looking for a downtown man A5 B5 That's what I am G5 A5 Bb5 B5 A5 Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah G5 A5 Bb5 B5 Whoo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-oah E5 F#5 Uptown girl G#5 my uptown girl A5 B5 You know I'm in love E5 F#5 With an uptown girl G#5 My uptown girl A5 B5 You know I'm in love E5 F#5 With an uptown girl G#5 My uptown girl A5 B5 Yeah, yeah Em B5 Uptown girl A5 G#5 F#5 E5 My uptown girl Questions, comments, requests, opinions, death threats all welcome at [email protected]
