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

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

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

BRIDGE 1:
[Bb] On the roof it's peaceful as can be
And [F] there the world be-[Dm]-low
can't bother [Bb] me ^[Bb]^[B]^[C open]
Let me tell you now...

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

BRIDGE 2:
[Bb] On the roofs the only place I know
Where [F] you just have to [Dm] wish
to make it [Bb] so ^[Bb]^[B]^[C open]
Let's go up on the [F] roof

INSTRUMENTAL: [F] [Dm] [Bb] [C] [F]

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

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

OUTRO:
Up on the [Dm] roof
Up on the [F] roof [Dm]
Up on the [F] roof
