Drifters, Up On The Roof (1962)
Key: :[G] (w: Gerry Goffin, Carole King)

INTRO:
[G] Up on the roof, up on the roof

VERSE 1:
When [G] this old world starts [Em] getting me down
And [C] people are just too [D] much for me to [G] face
I'll [G] climb way up to the [Em] top of the stairs
And [C] all my cares just [D] drift right into [G] space

BRIDGE 1:
[C] On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And [G] there the world be-[Em]-low
can't bother [C] me ^[C]^[C#]^[D open]
Let me tell you now...

VERSE 2:
When [G] I come home feelin' [Em] tired and beat
I'll [C] go up where the [D] air is fresh and [G] sweet
I'll [G] get away from the [Em] hustling crowd
And [C] all that rat-race [D] noise down in the [G] street

BRIDGE 2:
[C] On the roofs the only place I know
Where [G] you just have to [Em] wish
to make it [C] so ^[C]^[C#]^[D open]
Let's go up on the [G] roof

INSTRUMENTAL: [G] [Em] [C] [D] [G]

BRIDGE 3:
At [C] night the stars put on a show for free
And [G] darling you can [Em] share it
all with [C] me ^[C]^[C#]^[D open]
I keep on telling you that...

VERSE 3:
[G] Right smack dab in the [Em] middle of town
I've [C] found a para-[D]-dise that's trouble [G] proof
[G] And if this old world starts [Em] getting you down
There's [C] room enough for [D] two up on the [G] roof

OUTRO:
Up on the [Em] roof
Up on the [G] roof [Em]
Up on the [G] roof
