Up On The Roof chords by Carole King

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)



Intro:
Dm

Verse 1:
   C       Bm   Am       G
When this old world starts getting me down
  F     Em    Dm       C  F G C
And people are just too much for me to face
  C      Bm   Am        G
I climb way up to the top of the stairs
  F         Dm         C  F G C
And all my cares just drift right into space

Chorus:
F         F       F  F  Em Dm
On the roof it's peaceful as can be
  C         Am        Gm  Bb
And there the world below can't bother me

Verse 2:
  F            Bb     Am
So when I come home feelin' tired and beat
   Gm        C        F  Bb C Bb C
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
   F           Dm    Am
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
  Gm         C         F    Am Bb C F
And all that rat-race noise down in the street
  Bb     C  Dm        C
oh,up on the roof, that's the only place
  Bb C          Dm C
I know that they said you'd be,
    F        Dm      Am Bb
where you just have to wish to make it sooo...
   Bb     F  C  Dm  C
let's go up on my roof
Gm Am Bb  C
F  C Bb C F

Chorus 2:
  F          F      F   F
At night the stars put on a show for free
  C        Am        Dm  C N.C.
And darling you can share it all with me, ohh


Verse 3:
N.C.
Keep on tellin' you that
F           Dm    C
Right smack dab in the middle of town
   Gm      C               F   Bb C Bb C
I've found a paradise that's just about trouble proof
  F            Dm     C
And if this old world starts getting you down
    G        C       F   F
There's room enough for two up on my roof

Put down what you're doing tonight and climb up the stairs with me and see
 Gm   Am    Bb   C

 Gm  Am  Bb    C
up on the roof
F
