Up On The Roof

The Drifters

  • G
Continues after the ad
Key:
G When this old world
Em starts getting me down
C And people are just
D too much for me to face
G I'll climb way up
Em to the top of the stairs
C And all my cares
D just drift right into space [Chorus]
C On the roof it's peaceful as can be
G And there the world
Em C D below don't bother me [Verse 2]
G So when I come home
Em feelin' tired and beat
C I'll go up where
D G the air is fresh and sweet I'll get away from
Em the hustling crowd
Continues after the ad
C And all that
D G rat-race noise down in the street [Chorus]
C On the roof that's the only place I know
G Where you just have
Em C D to wish to make it so (Let's go up on the roof) [Solo]

[Verse 3]
C At night the stars put on a show for free
G And darling you can
Em C D share it all with me I keep on telling you that
G Right smack dab in
Em the middle of town
C I've found a
D G paradise that's trouble proof
G And if this old
Em world starts getting you down
C There's room enough
D G Em for two up on the roof [Other]
C D Up on the roof
G Em Up on the roof
C D G Up on the roof ************************************ | h Hammer-on | ) Bend | v Vibrato
