Song: This Room Artist: Fat Freddy's Drop Album: Green Room 003: Earth tabbed by James van Rooyen This is taken from a live version I found on the net, and is from Gilles Peterson's live BBC sessions. Search youtube for it. V nice version. I put it under the Green Room album as it has a similar version, although I'm not sure how these two compare. The BOATS version is in Fm (I think), whereas this is Cm, so don't try fit these chords to the original, it will sound horrible :) Main riff from the version on Green Room 003: (EAR)TH E------------------------| B------------------------| G-----------3------------| D-------3-5---3----------| A--3--6---------6-3----3-| E------------------------| Chords: Cm Gm G# Gm7 E---3---3----4----3--| B---4---3----4----3--| G---5---3----5----3--| D---5---5----6----3--| A--------------------| E--------------------| The chords for the first verse are the same for all the others:

I sit and ^Cmwatch you from my window ^GmGiving yourself away ^G#You've been working ^Gm7hard all ^Cmday I see the ^Cmground catch at your feet ^GmI see the sweet signs of defeat ^G#Like you're beaten but you ^Gm7feel no ^Cmpain

And then you turn to me instinctively checking if you're alone like a relfex from my guilty mind I fall away into the background like a shadow on the wall To leave you with your piece of mind Chorus: I watch from my window up high All alone in this room So many people go the same way I think it's time that I change my view(s) Like a king in his lonely kingdom A ruler who had no rules See I've got nothing left to lose I think it's time that I change my view(S)

^CmWhy did you choose my way Why did you ^Gmcome down this lonely street Was it to ^G#meet me Was it to ^Gm7tango with the roots they sound so ^Cmsweet

Play these notes short & sharp: E----------------------------| B----------------------------| G----------------------------| D------------------------1---| A-1-3----------------1-3---3-| E----------------------------| Sweeter than gold E------------------------| B------------------------| G------------------------| D-1-3----------------1-3-| A------------------3-----| E------------------------| Sweeter than fame E----------------------------------------------------------------| B----------------------------------------------------------------| G----------------------------------------------------------------| D----------------------------1---1--------------1----------------| A-1-3--------------------1-3---3---3-----------------------------| E----------------------------------------------------------------| Sweeter than honey More power than money Gm F7 G# Cm E--6---66--55---------44-----3-------------------------------------------------------| B--8---88--44---------44-----4-------------------------------------------------------| G--7---77--55---------55-----5-------------------------------------------------------| D------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| A------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| walking along this lonely street

^Gmsomeone I'd like to meet ^G#Someone I'd like to ^Gm7know As a ^Cmkindred soul

^Gmoh so ^F7spirit^G#ual the ^Cmsound ran down like ^Gmwaterfalls running away ^G#never the same ^Gm7Changing my view o^Cmf you everyday

Then a solo in Cm with the original chord progression as the backing, and finishing with the chorus: [I watch from my window up high, All alone in this room, So many people go the same way, I think it's time that I changed my views Like a king in his lonely kingdom, A ruler who had no rules, Ooh oh I got nothing got left to lose, I think it’s time that I changed my views] (x5)
