------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SAKURA NAGASHI (Flowing/Falling Cherry Blossoms) - Utada Nagashi ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: theredlongitude E-mail for corrections/suggestions/hate mail: killmashno@yahoo.com I think the word "epic" is thrown around too much lately. In my mind, it means huge and almost over-dramatic, while still hitting you hard, which I think describes this song perfectly. Tabbed for a singer friend of mine. This is an interpretation of the piano, not a note for note transcription.

Aside from the first low note, keep a barre at the fourth fret and your middle and ring finger on the top fifth frets on the E and B string. Use your pinky to hit the low notes. The top repeating notes are on beat, so you shouldn't have too much trouble. e||--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--| B|*--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--| G||-----------------------------------4-----------------------| D||--0--------7-----6--4--6-----------------7--6--7--4--------| A|*--------------------------7--------------------------------| E||-----------------------------------------------------------| e|---5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--|| B|---5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--5--*| G|---6-----4-----------------6-----4--------|| D|------------7--6--4-----------------7--6--|| A|------------------------------------------*| E|------------------------------------------|| That should do it.
