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

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

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

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

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

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

INSTRUMENTAL: [Bb] [Gm] [Eb] [F] [Bb]

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

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

OUTRO:
Up on the [Gm] roof
Up on the [Bb] roof [Gm]
Up on the [Bb] roof
