Westlife - UPTOWN GIRL guitar tab

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

Just because

My uptown girl

Repeat to fade...

Let me know what you think...
