Me First And The Gimme Gimmes - Uptown Girl guitar tab

Title: Uptown Girl

Artist: Me First And The Gimme Gimmes

Transcribed by: Alan Good

Anyone who'se Irish or British probably hates this song, due to the terrible Westlife

version of it that was played endlessly on the radio a few years back. However this version

by a little-known band called Me First And The Gimme Gimmes is actually pretty cool. It's done

in a sort of punk-ska style, so turn up the distortion on your guitar! You can find

song easily on the net, although a lot of the files are mis-named and

say that it is done by Weezer (gotta agree, his voice sounds very

similar to Rivers Cuomo) Anyway, here's how i play it, enjoy

Standard Tuning (EBGDAE)
