riji | [Chords] Kanjani8 - Samurai Song (Reply)

For some reason, Eito's Samurai Song has been stuck in my head since yesterday. And since I was at my brother's place earlier, I tried to play it on his guitar. It sounded pretty weird. Okay, let me explain. There are a lot of slash chords in this song. I'm so used to hear the chords as they sound like in the song, and that's also how I usually play this song on the piano. But since I don't know how to play any advanced guitar chords, I always ignore all the slash and just play the regular chords lol. That's why it sounded weird earlier. My brother actually taught me some slash chords before, but I thought they were hard, so I never really bothered to play them again =p

Anyway, here are the chords.

(Thanks to

otakara_maru for letting me use the romaji lyrics!)

Notes:

If you notice the weird spacing in the lyrics, that’s because I’m trying to put the chords right when they’re supposed to be played (in accordance with the lyrics).

In the second chorus after the interlude, in the second "okaeri tte", you see these chords: F#7/C# - F#sus4/B - F#7/A# - F# - F#7/A#. They’re supposed to be played as a quintuplet (5 equal beats in one 4/4 bar).
