#5 in '62.
              (Capo 1st fret.)
#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     G7
And all my cares just drift right into space.
C
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be.
    G                 Em               C
And there the world below can't bother me.
D 
Let me tell you now...

#2. 
     G                   Em
When I come home feelin' tired and beat,
  C               D                G
I go up where the air is fresh and sweet. 
                    Em
I get away from the hustling crowd,
    C                 D                 G     G7
And all that rat-race noise down in the street. 
C
On the roof's, 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.. 
   C
At night the stars put on a show for free.
     G                Em                C
And, darling, you can share it all with me. 
D
I keep on tellin' you... 

#3.
G                      Em
Right smack dab in the middle of town,
     C           D                   G
I've found a paradise that's trouble proof.
                         Em
And if this world starts getting you down,
        C               D              G
There's room enough for two, up on the roof.

ADD:
          Em
Up on the roo..oo..oof.
             G
Oh, come on, baby..up on the roof.
             Em
Oh, come on, honey..up on the roof.  
              G
Everything is all right..up on the roof.
