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
