UPTOWN GIRL written by BILLY JOEL
Comic Relief time....
I've been playing along to Westlife's version of this on The Box, and I've worked out the chords....
Assuming Billy Joel's version is in the same key, this is also right for the original.
D xx0232
Em 022000
F#m 244222
G 320033 or 355433 (use barre in bridge)
A x02220
Bb x13331
Gm 355333
Cm x35543
F 133211
C x32010
G/Ab 455433 use your thumb over the top to play this, or 4554xx if you don't play that way
Am x02210
E 022100
G#m 466444
B x24442
