Drifters, Up On The Roof (1962)
^{Key: :[D] (w: Gerry Goffin, Carole King)}

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

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

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

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [D] [Bm] [G] [A] [D]

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

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

OUTRO:
Up on the [Bm] roof
Up on the [D] roof [Bm]
Up on the [D] roof
