------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What's it for? - Yoko Kanno ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: XCrusherX@gmail.com Tuning: Drop D (DADgbe) with capo on the 3rd fret Note: I'm pretty sure the original song has some kind of open tuning closer to a standard tuning with a capo on the first fret. That's pretty clear from the harmonics at the end of the chorus. I tried to tab a version that works with a more common tuning since I personally don't play open ones. Note 2: As with most songs from Yoko Kanno there's much variation for each verse, chorus etc. This tab only acts as a general guideline since I had huge trouble filtering the guitar out of the mix anyway.
