Version 1 
            "Up On The Roof"
By Goffin/King as performed by James Taylor


[Intro]
Em7  D/F#  G   A

      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  D/F#  G  A7
On the roof, it's peaceful as can be
    D         A/C#   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   D/F#  G  A7
On the roof, that's the  only   place I know
      D        A/C#    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    Bm    Em7  D/F#   G   A   D

       G         A7         G/B      A7       Em7  D/F#  G  A7
And at night the stars they put on a show for free
     D       A/C#      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        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     Bm
Up on the roof
Bm        Em7  D/F#  G  A
Up on the roof
A         D
Up on the roof

repeat 6x
||: D Bm Em7 D/F# G A :|| D
