Up on the Roof

Up On The Roof Chords

The Drifters (Carole King)

G Em

When this old world starts getting me down

C D G
And people are just too much for me to face

Em
I climb way up to the top of the stairs

C D G
And all my cares just drift right into space

C
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be

G Em C D
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

G Em
When I come home feelin' tired and beat

C D G
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof)

Em
I get away from the hustling crowd

C D G
And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof)

C
On the roof, the only place I know

G Em C D
Where you just have to wish to make it so

Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof)
C
At night the stars put on a show for free

G Em C D
And, darling, you can share it all with me
I keep a-tellin' you

G Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town

C D G
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof)

G Em
And if this world starts getting you down

C D
There's room enough for two

G Em
Up on the roof (up on the roof)

C D
Up on the roo-oo-oof (up on the roof)

C D
Oh, come on, baby (up on the roof)

C D
Oh, come on, honey (up on the roof)

D A G F#m Bm G D F#m

There is a young cowboy he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companion.

He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. Just waiting for summer his pastures to change.

G A D Bm G D A

Yes and as the moon rises he sits by his fire. Just a thinkin' about women and glasses of beer.

G G f# - Em7 D Bm G D (a-b-d)

Closing his eyes as the doggies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear

Just as if maybe someone could hear.

Goodnight you moonlight ladies.

Rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

Yes and so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston.

Bm G D F#m

Lord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting.

G D A Em7 A

With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go.

G A D

There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway.

Bm G D A

A song that they sing when they take to the sea.

G G f# - Em7 D

A song that they sing of their home in the sky.

Bm G D (a-b-d)

Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep.

Bm E Asus4 - A

Just as singing seemed to work fine for me.
