Title - The Real Folk Blues
Composer - Yoko Kanno
Performed by - Seatbelts feat. Mai Yamane
Album - Cowboy Bebop OST

This is the full version of the end theme from Cowboy Bebop. I found the Cowboy Bebop
OST Band score, but that didn't provide tabs or chord boxes - all electric guitar
parts were written in standard notation, and all acoustic guitar parts written with
chord names and slash notation. So I had to figure out an easy way of playing the
acoustic guitar chords. Here's what I came up with, as well as the lyrics and approx.
where the chords go in relation to them.

	|E A (x02220@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D G (320003@1)name="chord_x2444x@1">B e|
	|-----------|
F#m7|2 (131141@2)4 2 2 2 2|
A(add9)|x (x02420@1)0 2 2 2 0|
or	|x 0 2 2 0 0|
D#m7(b5)|x x 1 2 2 2|
Dmaj7|x (xx0222@1)x 0 2 2 2|
B7|x (x21202@1)2 4 2 4 2|
E|0 (022100@1)2 2 1 0 0|
Bm|x (x24432@1)2 4 4 3 2|
F#m9/C#	|x 4 2 2 2 4|
C#7sus4|x (x4442x@1)4 6 4 7 4|
C#7|x (x4342x@1)4 6 4 6 4|
F#m|2 (244222@1)4 4 2 2 2|
F#m7/E	|0 4 4 2 2 2|
B7/D#	|x x 1 2 0 2|
C#7/F	|x x 3 4 2 4|
Aadd9/C#|x 4 2 2 0 0|
B7(9)/F#|x 2 4 2 2 2|

One of the trickiest fingerings is the B7/D# - C#7/F. I play it using this fingering:
B7/D#		C#7/F
______		______
||2|||		||||||
|||3|4	slide	||||1|
||||||	up to:	||2|||
||||||		|||3|4

With the B7(9)/F#, you could probably just play a B7/F# and fill in the (9) with other
parts if you like.
