FOREVER LOVE (Last Mix) Song by X Japan Tab by Kyosuke OK, basically the song follows an arpeggiating pattern, where Hide plays the root of a chord, then a nice little pattern, shown below: e-------------0---------- B-------1-------1---1---- G-----0---0-------0---0-- (A variation of picking out C chord) D---2-------2-----------2 A-3---------------------- E------------------------ You pick out the chords in that pattern. Here's another example using A minor and G: Am e-------------0----------- e-------------3----------- B-------1-------1---1----- B-------0-------0---0----- G-----2---2-------2---2--- G-----0---0-------0---0--- D---2-------2-----------2- D---0-------0-----------0- A-0----------------------- A------------------------- E------------------------- E-3----------------------- Hide essentially follows these patterns throughout the intro and chorus, with little variation. Use the forementioned pattern to play these chords for the Intro: C G Am F(barre) G C G Then he plays the following to end the intro: e------------------------------------------------ B-------1-----------0-----------1----------0----- G-----2---2-------0---0-------2---2------0---0--- D---2-------2---0-------0---3-------3--0-------0- A-0---------------------------------------------- E-------------3-----------1-----------3---------- e---------------------------------------0-------- B-------1-----------------------1-------1-------- G-----0---0-----0-------0-----0---0-----0-------- D---3-------3-2---2---2-----3-------3---2-------- A-3-----------------3-----3-------------3-------- E------------------------------------------------ VERSE Here's the Verse: C G Am e-------------------------------------0----------- B-------1-----------0-----------1-------1---1----- G-----0---0-------0---0-------2---2-------2---2--- D---2-------2---0-------0---2-------2-----------2- A-3-----------------------0----------------------- E-------------3----------------------------------- (Cont.) Dm C G e-------1-----------------------------3----------- B-----3---3---------1-----------0-------0---0----- G---2-------2-----0---0-------0---0-------0---0--- D-0-------------2-------2---0-------0-----------0- A-------------3----------------------------------- E-------------------------3----------------------- He plays these two until he cuts to the chorus: CHORUS: C Am e-------------0------------------------0----------- B-------1-------1---1------------1-------1---1----- G-----0---0-------0---0--------2---2-------2---2--- D---2-------2-----------2----2-------2-----------2- A-3------------------------0----------------------- E-------------------------------------------------- Em F G e-------------0-----------------1------------------ B-------0-------0---0---------1---1---------0------ G-----0---0-------0---0-----2-------2-----0---0---- D---2-------2-----------2-3-------------0-------0-- A-2------------------------------------------------ E-------------------------------------3------------ Before Toshi says "Tell me whyyyyy...", Hide adds this little bit after the final G in the chorus: e-------3 (Some kind of Am variation...sounds pretty.) B-----0-- G-------- D---2---- A-0------ E-------- That makes up the main part of the song. I'll try to tab the solo are prechorus and stuff if someone really wants me to. email:kyosuke_66@yahoo.com
