This things like a friggin book. It's still a great song. Check the way
bottom for additional notes.
Obviously kind of copied from other tabs of this song. I found all the tabs
out there for this song partially correct, but this is what I play and it sounds
fine to me/ all my friends who've listened to me play it, but its not 100% correct.
This songs surprisingly easy to play. Its mostly made up of the following verse;
so start with the following
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
followed by the same thing, except
-------------------------------|--------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0-----------------|----0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2--|----------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2-----|-------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------|0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------|------------------------------------------------------
|

Right Here is where the different endings come in
This "format" is used througout the entire song, and unless I say "play this" assume that
after you play the verse, you play about half the verse again and add on an ending.
Different Endings (In order)
Each set is a different ending
---------------0----------0----
------------0-----0-------0----
---------2-----------2----1----
------2----------------2--2----
-------------------------------
--0----------------------------
------------------------
-----------5--------4---
--------4-----4---------
-----4-----------4------
--2-----------------2---
------------------------
------------------------------------------------
---------------0-----0-----2-----------2--------
--------0------------------------4-----------3--
-----2------------2-----------2-----------2-----
------------------------------------------------
--0--------0------------2-----------2-----------
--------2------------------------2---------
-----2--------2---------------2-----2------
-----------------3--------------------3----
--------------------4-------------------4--
------------------------2--4---------------
--2--------2-------------------------------
------------------------------------------------
---------------0-----0-----2-----------2--------
--------0------------------------4-----------3--
-----2------------2-----------2-----------2-----
------------------------------------------------
--0--------0------------2-----------2-----------
--------------------2-----------
-------0----------2---2---------
-----2---2-1------------3-------
---0---------2-4----------4-----
-2------------------------------
--------------------------------
Right after that last ending, you should hear the singers voice kinds of change and
same with the guitar, its almost a completely different feel to the song;
so instead of playing the normal riff;
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
you play this;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------0--------0-3--------2------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2---------2-----------2--------4--2-----2--
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------0---------4--------2----
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2-----------------------------
--3-------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------
and just like before, you play this
-------------------------------|--------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0-----------------|----0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2--|----------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2-----|-------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------|0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------|------------------------------------------------------

Right Here is where the endings come in
Different endings
--------------0----------------------0------------
-----------0-----0----------------0-----0---------
--------2-----------2----------2-----------2------
-----0----------------0-----2----------------2----
--2----------------------0------------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Then the next verse, like the last, is this;
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------0--------0-3--------2------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2---------2-----------2--------4--2-----2--
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------0---------4--------2----
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2-----------------------------
--3-------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------
but the ending comes sooner, so its this;
-----------------------------------------------
--------------0-------------------------10----- Hold the 10, this is where the
--------2---------2---------2-----7--9--------- singer says "Zutto" (Always or
-----0----------0--------2-----7--------------- forever) Then start playing the
----------------------0------------------------ normal verse, like so;
--3--------3-----------------------------------
(This is the little intermision where the guitar plays and the singer takes a break,
gotta prep up for that crazy "ah" part)
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
with the first ending;
---------------0---------------------
------------0-----0-------0----------
---------2-----------2---------------
------2----------------2--2----------
--------------------------2----------
--0----------------------------0-2-3- NOTE THE 0-2-3
------------------------
-----------5------5--4--
--------4-------4----4--
-----4--------4------4--
--2------------------2--
------------------------
Then the singer starts singing again, cuz thats what shes paid to do, you gotta play too,
no break for the guitarist.
so start with the normal verse,
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
use the common ending
------------------------------------------------
---------------0-----0-----2-----------2--------
--------0------------------------4-----------3--
-----2------------2-----------2-----------2-----
------------------------2-----------2-----------
--0--------0------------------------------------
play the verse again
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
then the ending is
--------------0-----------------------2-----------
-----------0-----0-----------------0-----2--------
--------2-----------2-----------2-----------3-----
-----0-----------------0-----0-----------------4--
--2-----------------------2-----------------------
--------------------------------------------------
Then play the other type of verse,
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------0--------0-3--------2------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2---------2-----------2--------4--2-----2--
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------0---------4--------2----
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2-----------------------------
--3-------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------
then add on the ending; (so the entire next part would be)
------------------------------------------------------0---------------0------------
-------------0---------------------0----------------0---0-----------0---0----------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2--------2-------2-------2-------2--------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------0---0-----------0------
----------------------0--------0-------------2----------------0--------------------
--3-------3------------------------------------------------------------------------
then play (just like before)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------0--------0-3--------2------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2---------2-----------2--------4--2-----2--
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------0---------4--------2----
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2-----------------------------
--3-------3-------------------------------------------------------------------------
then play the first ending, making the entire last 'normal' verse (un until
after the "ahs" part) this;
----------------------------------------0--------------
-------------0------------------------0---0--------0---
-------2-----------2--------2-------2-------0------1---
-----0----------0--------2--------2-----------2----2---
----------------------0-------------------------2------
--3-------3--------------------0-----------------------
Choir Ahs part;
----------2------------------------3--------------------2-------------------------------
----------------3------------------------3--0---------3------3-------------3---2--------
-------4-----------4------------0-------------------2----------2---------2--------2-----
-----4----------------4------4-----------------4--0-------0------4-----2-------------4--
--2----------2------------------------------------------------------0--------0----------
-------------------------3------------3-------------------------------------------------
----------3------------------------3---------------------------0---------------0---------
----------------3--0---------------------3--0-----------3----------3-----2-------0--2---
-------4------------------------0-------------------------2------2-----2---2----------2-
-----4----------------4------4-----------------4------2---------------------------------
--2----------2-------------------------------------0--------0--------0---------0--------
-------------------------3------------3-------------------------------------------------
Just keep playing this until the singers almost done, oh man shes great, and then play the normal
verse
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------
--3-------3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------0----------------------
-------------0---------------------0------------------0-----0--------0--2--0--2-
-------2-----------2--------2------------2---------2-----------2----------------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------0-----------------0-------------
----------------------0--------0-------------2----------------------------------
--3-------3---------------------------------------------------------------------
then kind of slow down a bit
---------------------------------------------------2-----------------2---------------
-------------0---------------------0---------------------3--0-----2--------2---------
-------2-----------2--------2------------2------------------------------------2------
-----0----------0--------2------------2---------4--------------------------------4---
----------------------0--------0-------------2--------2--------0--------0------------

Slow down

Final Notes: This song took me like a week, so its not that hard. Just do lots of bar stuff,
don't move your fingers around that much, and concentrate. I use a pick, but it would
probably be easier with your fingers.

Lyrics:
|
JAPANESE | ENGLISH
|
Itokenai te ni tsutsunda | Held in young hands,
Furueteru sono hikari o | That light is shivering
Koko made tadotte kita | I've come all this way
Jidai no fuchi o samayoi | Wandering the edge of time
|
Sagashitsuzukete kita yo | I came still searching
Namae sae shiranai keredo | I don't even know your name, but
Tada hitotsu no omoi o | One little feeling
Anata ni tewatashitakute | I just wanted to hand over to you
|
Toki wa ai mo itami mo | Sometimes I catch and hold
Fuku dakitome | Love and pain, tightly in my arms
Keshite yuku kedo | It will fade away, but
Watashi wa oboete iru | I'll remember
Zutto... | Forever...
|
Watashi no mune no oku ni | It'd been echoing in my chest
Itsukara ka hibiite ita... | For who knows how long...
Yotsuyu no shizuku yori mo | Though it's a whisper tinier
Kasukana sasayaki dakedo | Than a drop of evening fog
|
Itetsuku hoshi no yami e | Toward the darkness of frozen stars
Tsumugu inori ga | A spinning prayer
Tô anata no sora ni | May it reach to your distant skies...
Todoku yô ni... |

-------------------Additional Notes---------------------------------------
A lot of this, for me, is improv. For example, instead of playing this;
--------------0----------------------0------------
-----------0-----0----------------0-----0---------
--------2-----------2----------2-----------2------
-----0----------------0-----2----------------2----
--2----------------------0-------------------------
---------------------------------------------------
I'll pick up the pace a bit and play this;
-----------------------0------------
---------0-----------0---0---0---0--
-----2-----2---2---2-------2---2----
---0---0-----0---2------------------
-2----------------------------------
------------------------------------
Same with the last part,

-----4----------------4------4-----------------4--0-------0------4-----2-------------4--

Instead of playing this ending
---------------0---------------0--------
--------3----------3-----2-------0--2---
----------2------2-----2---2----------2-

Play something like this
