[Ab] In this old world, [Fm] God's getting me down, [Db] and people are [Bbm] just too much for me to [Ab] face.
I found my way up to the top of the stairs, [Db] and all my cares [Bbm] just dripped right into [Ab]
space.
[Db] All the [Bbm] rupees, these gold [Db] aspen days, [Bbm] [Ab] and that old beehive can't bother [Db] me.
[Eb] Let me tell you now, [Ab] when I come home [Fm] feeling tired and beat, [Db] I go up where [Eb] the air is especially [Ab] sweet.
I get away from [Fm] that hustling crowd [Db] and all that rat [Eb] race noise down in [Ab] the [Db] street.
On the roof's [Bbm] the only place [Db] I know where [Ab] you just have to wish to make it [Db] so.
[Ebm] Let's go up on [Ab] the roof,
[Db]
[Ab]
[Bbm] and neither star comes so [Db]
afraid.
I [Ab]
[Db]
[Eb] keep on telling [Ab] you right smack dab [Fm] in the middle of town, [Db] I found a [Eb] paradise that's trouble [Ab]-free.
And if this world [Fm] starts getting you down, [Db] there's room enough [Eb] for two.
Up [Ab] on the roof, [Fm] up on the roof, oh come on [Ab] baby, oh come on.
[Bb]
