Sleeping On the Roof Guitar Tablature
This is the synth line that goes over the piano arrangement for the 
whole song. What you need to do, is play the first note only and 
use a delay repeat to achieve the second note. If you dont have 
a delay pedal, just play both notes, but it sounds so much better 
when you're holding the note and it's repeating behind what your playing. 

e |-11-(11)--------------------|-9-(9)--------------------|
B |-----------12-(12)--9--(9)--|---------9-(9)------------|
G |----------------------------|-----------------11-(11)--|
D |----------------------------|--------------------------|
A |----------------------------|--------------------------|
E |----------------------------|--------------------------|

e |------------11-(11)-----------|-12-(12)-----|
B |--12-(12)-------------9-(9)---|-------------|
G |------------------------------|-------------|
D |------------------------------|-------------|
A |------------------------------|-------------|
E |------------------------------|-------------|

I've sort of messed around trying to figure out the piano part 
and it seems that this arrangement works pretty well.

NOTE--theres four chords and they all last for one bar.

G#m   B   G#m  E (half barre)
 4    7    4   7
 4    7    4   9
 4    8    4   9
 6    9    6   9
 6    9    6   7
 4    7    4   x
     
Keep in mind, these chords are basically just to keep you a 
little bit busier. The actual piano just basically follows the 
G#m the whole time and adlibs around it. This a gorgeous song, 
and theres probably a lot more that could be done on it, but 
I'll leave that to your creative ventures. 

Have fun!
