UP ON THE ROOF James Taylor (Carole King) (capo 3rd fret) Em D/F# G6 A7sus4 D Bm7 F#m7 When this old world starts a getting me down, Em7 G/A D A/D D G/D A And people are just too much for me to face, D Bm7 F#m7 I'll climb way up to the top of the stairs, Em7 G/A D A/D D G/A A D And all my cares just drift right into space. G A G/B A Em7 D/F# G6 A7 On the roof, it's peaceful as can be, D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7 G/A And there the world below don't bother me, no, no. D Bm7 F#m7 So when I come home feeling tired and beat, Em7 G/A D A/D D G/D A I'll go up where the air is fresh and sweet, D Bm7 F#m7 I'll get far away from the hustling crowd, Em7 G/A D A/D D G/A A D And all the rat race noise down in the street. G A G/B A Em7 D/F# G6 A7 On the roof, that's the only place I know, D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7 Where you just have to wish to make it so. Let's go up on the roof. D A/D D A/B Bm7 A/B Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A7 D A/D D G/A A D G A G/B A Em7 D/F# G6 A7 At night the stars put on a show for free D A/D Bm7 F#m7 Em7 And, darling, you can share it all with me. G/A That's what I said. Keep on telling you that D Bm7 F#m7 right smack dab in the middle of town, Em7 G/A D A/D D G/D A I found a paradise that's trouble proof. D Bm7 F#m7 And if this old world starts a getting you down, Em7 G/A There's room enough for two up on the roof. D A/D D A/B Bm7 A/B Bm7 Em7 D/F# G A D
