{st:Carole King w/James Taylor (King/Goffin, 1962)} 


{c:Carole (Key of C)}
[/] [F↓] ...When [/] [C] this old world starts [/] [Am] getting me down
And [/] [F] people are just too [/] [Dm] much for me to [/] [C] face  [F↓] [G↓] [/] [C]  
I [/] [C] climb way up to the [/] [Am] top of the stairs
And [/] [F] all my cares just [/] [Dm] drift [G7] right in to [/] [C] space [F↓] [G↓] [/] [C]  
 

[/] [F] On the roof it's [/] [F] peaceful as can [/] [F] be   [/] [F]  
And [/] [C] there the world be- [/] [Am] low can't bother [/] [Dm] me   [/] [C7↓]     


{c:James (Key of F)}
So then [/] [F] I come home feelin' [/] [Dm] tired and [Am] beat
Come on [/] [Bb] go up where the [/] [C7] air is fresh and [/] [F] sweet [/] [Bb] [C] [/]
I [/] [F] get far away from the [/] [Dm] hustling [Am] crowd
And [/] [Bb] all that rat race [/] [C7] noise down in the [/] [F] street [/] [Bb↓] [C↓] [F↓↓] [/]   
 
 
[/] [Bb] On the [C] roof, [/] [Bb] that's the only [C] place I [/] [Gm] know  [C]  [/] [Bb] [C]  
Where [/] [F] you just have to [/] [Dm] wish to make [C↓] it [/] [Bb] so-oh-oh-oh
Let's [/] [C7] go, up on my [/] 
 

{c:Instrumental (Key of F)}
[/] [F] roof  [/] [Dm]   [/] [Bb] [C]  [/] [Bb] [C] [/]  
[/] [F] ...   [/] [Bb↓] [C↓] [F↓↓] 


{c:Carole (Key of C)}
At [/] [F] night the stars put [/] [F] on a show for [/] [F] free   [/] [F]  
And [/] [C] darling, you can [/] [Am] share it all with [/] [Dm] me   [/] [C7↓]    


{c:James (Key of F)}
I keep a-telling you 
[/] [F] Right smack dab in the [/] [Dm] middle of [Am] my town
I [/] [Bb] found a para- [/] [C7] dise that's just about trouble [/] [F] proof  [/] [Bb] [C]  
And [/] [F] if this old world starts [/] [Dm] getting you [Am] down
there's [/] [Bb] room enough for [/] [C7↓] two 
Up on my [/] [F] roof...
[/] [Dm] ...Up on the [/] [Bb] roof [C] [/] [Bb] [C]  
Up on my [/] [F] roof...
[/] [Dm] ...Up on the [/] [Bb] roof [C] [/] [Bb] [C] [/] [F↓]
