[Chords] Kanjani8 - Samurai Song

[riji]

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).


• Feel free to omit slash chords, Maj7, add9, add6, etc if you think they're too hard.
