Up on the Roof  The Drifters

Up On The Roof:The Drifters.

(Capo 1st fret.)

When [G]this old world starts [Em]getting me down,
And [C]people are just too [D]much for me to [G]face.
I climb way up to the [Em]top of the stairs,
And [C]all my cares just [D]drift right into [G]space.[G7]
[C]On the roof, it's peaceful as can be.
And [G]there the world be[Em]low can't bother [C]me.
[D]Let me tell you now...

When [G]I come home feelin' [Em]tired and beat,
I [C]go up where the [D]air is fresh and [G]sweet.
I get away from the [Em]hustling crowd,
And [C]all that rat-race [D]noise down in the [G]street[G7].
[C]On the roof's, the only place I know,
Where [G]you just have to [Em]wish to make it [C]so.
Let's [D]go up on the [G]roof..
At [C]night the stars put on a show for free.
And, [G]darling, you can [Em]share it all with [C]me.
[D]I keep on tellin' you...

[G]Right smack dab in the [Em]middle of town,
I've [C]found a para[D]dise that's trouble [G]proof.
And if this world starts [Em]getting you down,
There's [C]room enough for [D]two, up on the [G]roof.
ADD:
Up on the [Em]roo..oo..oof.
Oh, come on, [G]baby..up on the roof.
Oh, come on, [Em]honey..up on the roof.
Everything is [G]all right..up on the roof.
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
