Up On The Roof

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
                (Lets 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
