[E] [A] I'm gonna [B] try [E] for an uptown girl.
[A]
She's been living [E] in her white credit world.
[A] As long as anyone [E] could hop a jam.
[A] And now she's looking [E] for a downtown man.
[A]
[B] [C] And what a man.
When she [Am]
knows what [Dm] she wants [D] from [G] her time.
[C] And when [Am] she wakes up [B] and makes up [E] her mind.
[A] She'll see [F#m] I'm not so tough [B] just [Bm] because [B] I'm in love with [E] an uptown girl.
[A] You know I've seen her in [E] an uptown girl.
[A] She's getting [E] tired of her high class [F#m] clothes.
And all the presents from [E] her uptown boys.
[A] She's got a choice.
[G] Oh, [A]
[F#] [G]
[D] [G] [Em] [A]
[A#m] [B]
[E] uptown girl.
[F#m] You know I can't [E] afford to buy girls.
[A] But maybe [E] someday when my ship comes [F#m] in.
She'll understand what [E] kind of guy I've been.
[A] And I will.
[C] And [Am] when she's walking.
