Up On The Roof - The Drifters

[Intro]
G

Verse 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
And  all my cares just  drift right into  space
 
|Chorus 1:
|C
| On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
|    G                  Em               C   
|And  there the world below can't bother  me (D)
|{blue} (Let me tell you now) {/blue}
 
Verse 2: 
G                         Em
 When I come home feelin'  tired and beat
  C                D                 G
I  go up where the  air is fresh and  sweet {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
                    Em
I get away from the  hustling crowd
    C                  D                  G
And  all that rat-race  noise down in the  street {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
 
|Chorus 2:
|C
| On the roof, 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 {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
 
Instrumental:
G   Em    C   D    G

Verse 3:  
G                       Em
 Right smack dab in the  middle of town
     C            D                   G
I've  found a paradise that's trouble  proof {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
    G                     Em
And  if this world starts  getting you down
        C                D
There's  room enough for  two
          G     Em
Up on the  roof  {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}

Outro:
          G           Em
Up on the  roo-oo-oof  {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
         G         Em
Oh, come  on, baby  {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
         G          Em
Oh, come  on, honey  {blue}(up on the roof){/blue}
