     "Room Service at the Tahiti Motel"

     Written by Leo Kottke
     From the "Live" CD sandwitched inside of "I yell at Traffic"
     TAB'ed by Charlie Weidhas

     12 string at standard tuning lowered to C#

     X = muted string
     s = slide
     h = hammer on
     a = arpeggio
     d = down stroke (Leo often uses his thumb for this stroke)
     u = up stroke

     This is an aproximation of what Leo is doing on this tune.
     This TAB nees a bunch of corrections before it can be called
     even close to accruate.

     As usual, there is absoultly no pride in authorship and any
     and all corrections/comments are welcomed.

     Listen to the recording, there are a bunch of ghost notes
     not tab'ed that are required to keep the tempo moving along.

                            d

     Repeat above 2x and keep treble strings ringing throughout
     - a stretch with the pinky holding the 5th fret!

     Repeat section D

     Section E

     This section needs a bunch of work. It's very hard to hear
     what notes are being played due to all the harmonics all
     over the place.

                      d u  d u
     Listen to recording for the way these chords are played
     (if the chords are right at all!?)

     Section F

     Relative to section E, this section is pretty accurate IMHO.
     To get it to sound right requires muting and string dampening.
