Up On The Roof Chords The Drifters (Carole King) 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 And all my cares just drift right into space C On the roof, it's peaceful as can be G Em C D And there the world below can't bother me Let me tell you now G Em When I come home feelin' tired and beat C D G I go up where the air is fresh and sweet (up on the roof) Em I get away from the hustling crowd C D G And all that rat-race noise down in the street (up on the roof) C On the roof, the only place I know G Em C D Where you just have to wish to make it so Let's go up on the roof (up on the roof) C At night the stars put on a show for free G Em C D And, darling, you can share it all with me I keep a-tellin' you G Em Right smack dab in the middle of town C D G I've found a paradise that's trouble proof (up on the roof) G Em And if this world starts getting you down C D There's room enough for two

Sweet Baby James

James Taylor

Intro G …… F# Em7 Asus4 …….A (accent bass notes – slow waltz) D A G F#m Bm G D F#mThere is a young cowboy he lives on the range. His horse and his cattle are his only companion. Bm G D F#m G D A Em7 - AHe works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyon. Just waiting for summer his pastures to change. G A D Bm G D AYes and as the moon rises he sits by his fire. Just a thinkin' about women and glasses of beer. G G f# - Em7 D Bm G D (a-b-d)Closing his eyes as the doggies retire He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear Bm E Asus4……….AJust as if maybe someone could hear.

D G A DGoodnight you moonlight ladies.Bm G DRock-a-bye sweet baby James.Bm G D (a-b-d)Deep greens and blues for the colors I choose. Bm E Asus4 - AWon't you let me go down in my dreams. G A DOh and rock-a-bye sweet baby James.

D A G F#mNow the first of December was covered with snow. Bm G D F#mYes and so was the turnpike from Stockridge to Boston. Bm G D F#mLord the Berkshires seemed dreamlike on account of that frosting. G D A Em7 AWith ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go. G A DThere's a song that they sing when they take to the highway. Bm G D AA song that they sing when they take to the sea. G G f# - Em7 DA song that they sing of their home in the sky. Bm G D (a-b-d)Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep. Bm E Asus4 - AJust as singing seemed to work fine for me.Chorus
