 Up On The Roof
 Gerry Goffin & Carole King  1962
 (Starting Note: C)  (Capo 3rd Fret)
 Em  D/f#  G6  A7sus4
 When this old world starts a getting me down, [ D Bm7 F#m7 ]
 And people are just too much for me to face,  [ Em7  G/a (D  A/d  D  G/d  A)]
 I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs, [ D  Bm7  F#m7 ]
 And all my cares just drift right into space. [ Em7  G/a (D  A/d  D  G/a  A
  D)]
 On the roof, it's peaceful as can be,  [ G  A  G/b  A  Em7  (D/f#  G6  A7)]
 And there the world below don't bother me, no, no. [D  A/d  Bm7  F#m7  Em7
  G/a]
 
 So when I come home feeling tired and beat,  [ D Bm7  F#m7 ]
 I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet,  [ Em7  G/a (D  A/d  D  G/d  A)
 ]
 I'll get far away from the hustling crowd, [ D  Bm7  F#m7 ]
 And all the rat race noise down in the street. [ Em7  G/a (D  A/d  D  G/a  A
  D) ]
 On the roof, that's the only place I know,  [ G  A  G/b  A  Em7  (D/f#  G6
  A7) ]
 Where you just have to wish to make it so. [ D  A/d  Bm7  F#m7  Em7]
 
 Let's go up on the roof. [ tacet ]
 
 [ D  A/d  D  A/b  Bm7  A/b  Bm7  Em7  D/f#  G  A7  D  A/d  D  G/a  A  D ]
 
 At night the stars put on a show for free [ G  A  G/b  A  Em7  (D/f#  G6  A7)
 ]
 And, darling, you can share it all with me. [ D  A/d  Bm7  F#m7  Em7 ]
 
 That's what I said. Keep on telling you that  [ G/a ]
 right smack dab in the middle of town, [ D  Bm7  F#m7  ]
 I found a paradise that's trouble proof. [ Em7  G/a  D (A/d  D  G/d A) ]
 And if this old world starts a getting you down, [ D  Bm7  F#m7 ]
 There's room enough for two up on the roof. [ Em7  G/a ]
 [ D  A/d  D  A/b  Bm7  A/b  Bm7  Em7  D/f#  G  A  D ]
