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

Chorus

E
Uptown girl
F#m7             E  
she's my uptown girl
      A           A 
you know I'm in love with an
E
Uptown girl
F#m7       E  
my uptown girl
      A          B
you know I'm in love with an
