Up on the roof
Carole king (attributed to james taylor...)
Rodney Henson Chord Version
D Bm F#m7
When this old world starts a getting me down
Em7 A7sus4 D
And people are just too much for me to face
D Bm F#m7
I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs
Em7 A7sus4 D
And all my cares just drift right into space
G A7 G/B A7 Em7
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
D Bm F#m7 Em7 A7sus4
And there the world below don't bother me, no, no
D Bm F#m7
So when I come home feeling tired and beat
Em7 A7sus4 D
I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet
D Bm F#m7
I'll get far away from the hustling crowd
Em7 A7sus4 D
And all the rat-race noise down in the street
G A7 G/B A7 Em7
On the roof, that's the only place I know
D Bm F#m7 Em7
Where you just have to wish to make it so
Asus4 D
Let's go up on the roof
Instrumental:
D A/D D F#m7 Bm A/B Bm Em7 D/F# G/F#
A/G A D/A D A/D D Em7 A D
G A7 G/B Em7
And at night the stars they put on a show for free
D A/D Bm F#m7 Em7
And, darling, you can share it all with me
A7sus4
That's what I said. Keep on telling you that
D Bm F#m7
Right smack dab in the middle of town,
Em7 D/F G A7sus4 D
I found a paradise that's trouble proof
D Bm F#m7
And if this old world starts a getting you down
Em7 A7sus4
There's room enough for two
D
Up on the roof.
Bm Em7
Up on the roof
A6 Fm7
Up on the roof
