Up On The Roof Chords

UP ON THE ROOF
by Gerry Goffin & Carole King

     C                     Am
When this old world starts getting me down
    F                   Dm             C
And people are just too much for me to face
  C                   Am
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
    F                 Dm                C
And all my cares just drift right in to space

F
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
    C                                  G  G7
And there the world below can't bother me

Let me tell you now

     C                   Am
When I come home feelin' tired and beat
  F               Dm               C
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet
  C                 Am
I get away from the hustling crowds
    F                 Dm                C
And all that rat race noise down in the street


F
On the roof's the only place I know
      C                                G   G7
Where you just have to wish to make it so

Oh, let's go up on the roof


Solo: C Am F Dm C


   F
At night the stars put on a show for free
    C                                  G   G7
And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you

C                       Am
Right smack dab in the middle of town
  F           Dm                  C
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
   C                    Am
So if this world starts getting you down
        F               Dm            C
there's room enough for two up on the roof

          F
Up on the roof
             C
Everything's all right
          F
Up on the roof
            C
Oh, come on baby
          F
Up on the roof
          C
Up on the roof


Outro: C  Am  F  Dm  C
