KURENAI
-xjapan-
lyrics and music by yoshiki ^v^
tabbed by sakurasawa
- - - - -
kurenai's the 7th song on 'blue blood', xjapan's third album, and this is
the japanese version. musically, the english version (on 'vanishing visions')
is pretty similar ^_^
yoshiki has a penchant for setting stuff in weird keys...this is actually in
C# major. for guitars, just take everything down half a step, so strings are
Eb Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
(obviously)
- - - - -
orchestral for the first 8 bars (i'm not sure how to tab piano parts, so just
screw around with primary and dominant triads till you get the effect)
Am, G6, F, E, Am, G6, F then G, Am
guitar 1 starts. arpeggiated open chords with bits thrown in for effect ^v^
i'll just do the tabs, because i seriously think it's easier reading those
than having me write out all the separate finger positions in a whole lot of
little unhelpful diagrams ^^;;
chord progression is this:
Am7 for 3 bars, Am7 then E, F6, Fm7, E7 for two, Am7 for 3, E, Fm7 for
2, E7 for two, then vocals start.
this is how it goes:
E | --------------------------------------------------------------
B | -Oh1-----3-----1---------------O--------1------------3p1------
G | ------2-----2-----2-----2---------2--------2--------------2---
D | ---------------------2---------------2--------2---------------
A | --O----------------------------O------------------------------
E | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | --------------------------------------------------------------
B | -Oh1-----3-----1---------------O---------------O--------------
G | ------2-----2-----2-----2---------2-----O---------1-----1-----
D | ---------------------2---------------2---------------2--------
A | --O----------------------------O------------------------------
E | -----------------------------------------------O--------------
E | --------------------------------O---------------O-------------
B | -Oh1-----3------1------------------1-----1---------O-----O----
G | -Oh2--2-----2------2-----2------------2---------------2-------
D | ----------------------3---------------------------------------
A | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | -----------------------------O---------------O----------------
B | -O-----3-----O-----3------------O-----O---------3-----3-------
G | ----1-----1-----1-----1------------1---------------1----------
D | --------------------------------------------------------------
A | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | -O---------------------------O--------------------------------
then play first two lines again, follow with:
E | ------------------O------------O--------O---------------------
B | -Oh1-----3-----------3------------1------------O-----1--------
G | -Oh2--2-----2-----------2------------2------------2-----2-----
D | ---------------3----------------------------------------------
A | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | --------------------------------------------------------------
E | -----------------------------O---------------O----------------
B | -O-----3-----O-----3------------O-----O-----------------------
G | ----1-----1-----1-----1------------1--------------------------
D | --------------------------------------------------------------
A | -------------2---------------2--------------------------------
E | -O------------------------------------------------------------
vocals and guitar 2 start...
Am7 C G Fm7 E
I could not look back, you'd gone away from me
Am7 C G F C Am7
I felt my heart ache I was afraid of following you
Am7 C G Fm7 E
When I had looked at the shadows on the wall
Am7 C G F E Am9
I started running into the night to find the truth in me.
Am7 for 2, F, G, Am7 for 2, F, Em7, Am7 for 2, F, G, Am7 for 2, F,
G, Am7 for 8.
verse 1:
Am7 Am7 F G Am7
arashi fuku kono machi ga omae wo daku
Am7 F G Am7
fukinukeru kaze ni sae me wo tojiru
Am7 F G Am C D E
omae wa hashiridasu nani ka ni owareru you
E F G Am F G Am
ore ga mienai no ka suguso----ba ni iru no ni
verse 2 is exactly the same as verse 1.
then guitar 1 solos for AGES ^_^ . i could tab it out if you really want, but
hell, i can't play past the 14th fret with an acoustic, so i'm not sure if
it'd be 100% correct ^^;; . it's not as fast as it sounds...lots of pulls and
slides, but mainly quavers *_* (none of that bizarre ken-chan stuff) ^v^
verse 3 is pretty much the same stuff...
just mess around with different chord progressions ^_^
- - - - -
so, there you have it =P
this was my first tabbing experience, so it took me forever, and i'm pretty
sure there're a few mistakes around the place O_o;;
if you find them, could you give me a call on
sadistic_desire@usa.net
arigatou! ^_^
