FOREVER LOVE (Last Mix)
Song by X Japan
Tab by Kyosuke

OK, basically the song follows an arpeggiating pattern, where Hide plays the root of a chord, then a nice little pattern, shown below:

e-------------0----------
B-------1-------1---1----
G-----0---0-------0---0--  (A variation of picking out C chord)
D---2-------2-----------2
A-3----------------------
E------------------------

You pick out the chords in that pattern. Here's another example using A minor and G:
	Am
e-------------0-----------   e-------------3-----------
B-------1-------1---1-----   B-------0-------0---0-----
G-----2---2-------2---2---   G-----0---0-------0---0---
D---2-------2-----------2-   D---0-------0-----------0-
A-0-----------------------   A-------------------------
E-------------------------   E-3-----------------------

Hide essentially follows these patterns throughout the intro and chorus, with little variation. Use the forementioned pattern to play these chords for the Intro:

C G Am F(barre) G C G

Then he plays the following to end the intro:

e------------------------------------------------
B-------1-----------0-----------1----------0-----
G-----2---2-------0---0-------2---2------0---0---
D---2-------2---0-------0---3-------3--0-------0-
A-0----------------------------------------------
E-------------3-----------1-----------3----------

e---------------------------------------0--------
B-------1-----------------------1-------1--------
G-----0---0-----0-------0-----0---0-----0--------
D---3-------3-2---2---2-----3-------3---2--------
A-3-----------------3-----3-------------3--------
E------------------------------------------------

VERSE

Here's the Verse:
        C           G           Am
e-------------------------------------0-----------
B-------1-----------0-----------1-------1---1-----
G-----0---0-------0---0-------2---2-------2---2---
D---2-------2---0-------0---2-------2-----------2-
A-3-----------------------0-----------------------
E-------------3-----------------------------------

(Cont.) Dm          C           G
e-------1-----------------------------3-----------
B-----3---3---------1-----------0-------0---0-----
G---2-------2-----0---0-------0---0-------0---0--- 
D-0-------------2-------2---0-------0-----------0-
A-------------3-----------------------------------
E-------------------------3-----------------------

He plays these two until he cuts to the chorus:

CHORUS: C                       Am
e-------------0------------------------0-----------
B-------1-------1---1------------1-------1---1-----
G-----0---0-------0---0--------2---2-------2---2---
D---2-------2-----------2----2-------2-----------2-
A-3------------------------0-----------------------
E--------------------------------------------------
       Em                       F           G
e-------------0-----------------1------------------
B-------0-------0---0---------1---1---------0------
G-----0---0-------0---0-----2-------2-----0---0----
D---2-------2-----------2-3-------------0-------0--
A-2------------------------------------------------
E-------------------------------------3------------

Before Toshi says "Tell me whyyyyy...", Hide adds this little bit after the final G in the chorus:

e-------3 (Some kind of Am variation...sounds pretty.)
B-----0--
G--------
D---2----
A-0------
E--------

That makes up the main part of the song. I'll try to tab the solo are prechorus and stuff if someone really wants me to.
