This worked for me just fine, I adapted the open chords into fifths so that
they were more user friendly, not sure about the bits with Bb, that might not
work so well. Apologies

D5 E5
Uptown girl
F#5 G5
She's been living in her uptown world
A5 D5 E5
I bet she never had a back street guy
F#5 G5
I bet her mama never told her why
A5
I'm gonna try for an
D5 E5
Uptown girl
F#5 G5
She's been living in her white bread world
A5 D5 E5
As long as anyone with hot blood can
F#5 G5
And now she's looking for a downtown man
A5
That's what I am
Bb5 G5
And when she knows what
C5 F5
She wants from her time
Bb5 G5
And when she wakes up
C5 F5
And makes up her mind
Don't know if this bit is right, but it seemed to work
G5 E5
She'll see I'm not so tough
C5
Just because
A5
I'm in love with an
D5 E5
Uptown girl
F#5 G5
You know I've seen her in her uptown world
A5 D5 E5
She's getting tired of her high class toys
F#5 G5
And all her presents from her uptown boys
A5
She's got a choice

Uptown girl
F#5 G5
You know I can't afford to buy her pearls
A5 D5 E5
But maybe someday when my ship comes in

She'll understand what kind of guy I've been
A5
And then I'll win

And when she's walking

She's looking so fine

And when she's talking
C5 F5
She'll say that she's mine

She'll say I'm not so tough
