Uptown Girl, Billy Joel, fingerstyle guitar arrangement

The guitar arrangement of this week is "Uptown Girl" a song by Billy Joel. It was released on September 29, 1983, on his ninth studio album An Innocent Man (1983)

Here is my latest solo guitar arrangement, I've been working on it on and off for about two weeks as someone requested it on the gig... At first I played it in the key of F, basically just out of memory, then I brought it home and polished it a little bit and decided to lower it to the key of E as I got some nicer voicings... If you enjoy the song please click like and share!

Uptown girl
She's been living in her uptown world
I bet she's never had a backstreet guy
I bet her momma never told her why

I'm gonna try for an uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

And when she knows what
She wants from her time
And when she wakes up
And makes up her mind

She'll see I'm not so tough
Just because
I'm in love with an uptown girl
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
She's getting tired of her high class toys
And all her presents from her uptown boys
She's got a choice

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 uptown girl
She's been living in her white bread world
As long as anyone with hot blood can
And now she's looking for a downtown man
That's what I am

Uptown girl
She's my uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
My uptown girl
You know I'm in love
With an uptown girl
