Room Tab by The Living End The Living End - The Room (Cheney) Albumn: Modern Artilery (2003) No tuning required (E-A-D-G-B-e) Legend: ^ = full bend (2 frets) r = return bend * = half bend (1 fret) ! = accent or emphasis ~ = hold bend/vibrato / = slide up \ = slide down p = pull-off h = hammer on pm = palm muted (|___| = in this area) NOTE: Many parts of this tab exclude multiple strikings of chords, other parts (eg. the first line) don't. If the tab seems misleading, make sure u listen to the song, or know it well, especially for the solos; the timing and speed are not indicated so use the chord changes below it to get the timing right. If u look closely its all there...

Note: knowing Cheney, I've probably left out a whole lot of vibrato/slides, so make sure to use tons in the solos ;) Have any comments, suggestions? Email me: matty_pilot@optusnet.com.au I think I got it pretty much spot on, but if I made a mistake, ur welcome to correct it. Matt Gault
