Up On The Roof:The Drifters.
#5 in '62.
(Capo 1st fret.)
#1.
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 G7
And all my cares just drift right into space.
C
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be.
G Em C
And there the world below can't bother me.
D
Let me tell you now...
#2.
G Em
When I come home feelin' tired and beat,
C D G
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet.
Em
I get away from the hustling crowd,
C D G G7
And all that rat-race noise down in the street.
C
On the roof's, the only place I know,
G Em C
Where you just have to wish to make it so.
D G
Let's go up on the roof..
C
At night the stars put on a show for free.
G Em C
And, darling, you can share it all with me.
D
I keep on tellin' you...
#3.
G Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town,
C D G
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof.
Em
And if this world starts getting you down,
C D G
There's room enough for two, up on the roof.
ADD:
Em
Up on the roo..oo..oof.
G
Oh, come on, baby..up on the roof.
Em
Oh, come on, honey..up on the roof.
G
Everything is all right..up on the roof.
