Gently swaying and rustling

Beautiful home, home at the edge of the sea

Bright beams of moonlight

Dance on the whispering sea

The refrain is told

Of my home in Lahaina

So filled with happiness

VERSE 1: G When this old world starts getting me down C D G And people are just too much for me to face

I’ll 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[STOP] And there the world below can’t bother me

Let me tell ya now

VERSE 2: G 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]

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 that’s the only place I know G Em C Where you just have to wish to make it so D[STOP] G Let’s go up on the roof

INSTRUMENTAL VERSE: G C D G

G C D G REPRISE: C At night the stars put on a show for free G Em C D[STOP] And darling, you can share it all with me

I keep a-telling you

VERSE 3: G Right smack dab in the middle of town C D G I’ve found a paradise that’s troubleproof

And if this old world starts getting you down C D G There’s room enough for two up on the roof

C D Up on the roof G Up on the roof C D Up on the roof G
