Up On The Roof
Gerry Goffin & Carole King 1962
(Starting Note: ) (Capo 3rd Fret)
/f#
When this old world starts a getting me down, [ [D] ]
And people are just too much for me to face, [ [Em7] /a ( /d /d )]
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs, [ [D] ]
And all my cares just drift right into space. [ [Em7] /a ( /d /a
)]
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be, [ [G] /b (/f# )]
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no. [[D] /d
/a]
So when I come home feeling tired and beat, [ [D] ]
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet, [ [Em7] /a ( /d /d )
]
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd, [ [D] ]
And all the rat race noise down in the street. [ [Em7] /a ( /d /a
) ]
On the roof, that's the only place I know, [ [G] /b (/f#
) ]
Where you just have to wish to make it so. [ [D] /d ]
Let's go up on the roof. [ tacet ]
[ [D] /d /b /b /f# /d /a ]
At night the stars put on a show for free [ [G] /b (/f# )
]
And, darling, you can share it all with me. [ [D] /d ]
That's what I said. Keep on telling you that [ [G]/a ]
right smack dab in the middle of town, [ [D] ]
I found a paradise that's trouble proof. [ [Em7] /a (/d /d ) ]
And if this old world starts a getting you down, [ [D] ]
There's room enough for two up on the roof. [ [Em7] /a ]
[ [D] /d /b /b /f# ]
