The Drifters - Up on the Roof
Capo 1
Verse 1
[G] [Em]
When this old world starts getting me down
[C] [D]
And people are just too much for me to face
[G] [Em]
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
[C] [D]
And all my cares just drift right into space
Chorus
[C]
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
[G] [Em] [C] [D]
And there the world below don't bother me
Verse 2
[G] [Em]
So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
[C] [D] [G]
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
[Em]
I'll get away from the hustling crowd
[C] [D] [G]
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
Chorus
[C]
On the roof that's 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)

Verse 3
[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 on telling you that
[G] [Em]
Right smack dab in the middle of town
[C] [D] [G]
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof
[G] [Em]
And if this old world starts getting you down
[C] [D] [G] [Em]
There's room enough for two up on the roof
Outro
[C] [D]
Up on the roof
[G] [Em]
Up on the roof
[C] [D] [G]
Up on the roof
