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
