the pillows Song: Something Like a Romance Album: Living Field By: KeitarO Perfect Song. Everything in it. It's just perfect. Here I'll list Sawao's chords and Manabe's guitar for it. There are also "two other guitars" that were recorded in studio, but would probably not be played live. They'll be better explained later, when the actual Manabe's guitar tab ends. Also the solo requires some fast moves. Not anyone will be able to play it. But if you're ready to spend hours on it, then I'm sure you'll master it and be happy, just like me :) Enjoy it as much as you can. FOREVER PILLOWS! First, the short played chords: e|-----------| B|-9----8----| G|-9----8----| D|-7----7----| A|-9----8----| E|-----------| Sawao chords for the intro and verses are the same: x79777 - x57675 Later, when the song changes a bit I couldn't define if Sawao plays other chords, of if he kepps the same for a while. So I decided just to add a slight difference: Pre-chorus 779777 - 557675 - 022030 - 244222 - 355333 All the chords are repeated and then comes the chorus: x24432 - 022100 - 320033 - x02220 - 244222 - 244222 - x24242 - x24242 x22432 - x02220 - x7577x - x57675 solo: x79777 - x57675 - x79777 - x57675 022030 - 244222 - 355333 - x02030 - x02220 After the second chorus comes a different part: x79777 - x57675 - x79777 - x57675 e|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3--------| B|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3--------| G|-4-4-4-4---4-4-4-4--------| - xx0232 D|-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5--------| A|-5-5-5-5---5-5-5-5--------| E|-3-3-3-3---3-3-3-3--------| Then repeat intro chords.

A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| Repeat the intro forever and ever :) Now I'll show the other 2 guitars. One keeps being played with intro and verses. It stops right when pre-chorus comes. And it comes back later, after the chorus, stops again in pre-chorus, and comes back right when the intro starts being played again in the end of the song. These are the times it starts to be played: *0:01* *0:12* *0:22* *0:32* *0:43* *0:53* *1:24* *1:35* *3:49* *4:00* *4:11* *4:21* *4:30* e|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| B|------------8/10-10-8--7---------------8/10-10-8--7----------------3/5-5-3--2----------------3/5-5-3--2-| G|-------7----9/11-11-9--7----------7----9/11-11-9--7----------2-----4/6-6-4--2----------2-----4/6-6-4--2-| D|-7-9-----9------------------7-9-----9------------------2-4-----4-----------------2-4-----4--------------| A|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| E|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| And the last one that I think it's important to be tabbed is a real short part that kept confusing me before I guessed it really was another guitar. It's just played in the first half of the intro (when the song starts and later when the intro is played again in the end) and it has duration of around 1 or 2 seconds. These are the times that it's played: *0:03* *0:14* *3:51* *4:01* *4:12* *4:22* *4:32* e|-10-10--10-| B|-10-10--10-| G|-11-11--11-| D|-----------| A|-----------| E|-----------| any particular comment? andre-petro@hotmail.com 12/01/2008
