TEARS
Song By: X Japan
Tabbed by: Kyosuke

There are two guitars in Tears...One mainly plays power chords, while the other one does all the soloing. The main part of this document is dedicated to the first guitar.
It's not playing while only Yoshiki and the orchestra are playing.  This first bit comes after he says "with loooovvveee..."

e-12-10--------------
B-12-12----5----9----
G--------7-7--9-11---
D--------------------
A--------------------
E--------------------

Then the verse comes up:

Lonliness...  Your silent whisper...        Fills a river
e--------------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------------------5--
E-------5-----4--------------2---------0-----------------

of tears, through the night...
e-------
B-------
G-------
D-------
A---7---
E-------

He plays the same rhythm for the next line:
"Memory, you never let me cry, and you, you never said goodbye"

Then;
Goodbye...    Sometimes, our tears, blinded the love...
e------------------------------------------------------
B------------------------------------------------------
G------------------------------------------------------
D------------------------------------------------------
A---------------------------------------------------4--
E-----------4-2----------------------------------------

  We lost our dreams along the way...
e------------------------------------
B------------------------------------
G------------------------------------
D------------------------------------
A-5-------------------------------7--
E------------------------------------
     
     But I never thought you'd trade your soul to the fates...
e--------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------
A-----------------------------------------4--
E-1-2----------------------------------------

Never thought... You'd leave me alone
e--------------------------------------------------------
B---------------------------------------------8-10--12---
G---------------------------------------------9-10--12---
D------------0-------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------------
E--------------------------------------------------------

Time through the rain, has set me freeeee...
e--------------------------------------------------
B--------------------------------------------------
G--------------------------------------------------
D--------------------------------------------------
A--------------------------------------------------
E-8-------7---------------------5---------------3--

Sands of time will keep your memory...
e------------------------------------
B------------------------------------
G------------------------------------
D------------------------------------
A-----------5------------------------
E-1--------------------------3-------

Repeat same rhythm for next line:
"Love everlasting fades away, alive within your beatless heart."

Then Hide plays these three power chords 1 2/3 times, while Toshi is saying "Dryyy yourr teeaaarrsss...with loooovee...":
e----------
B----------
G----------
D-3--5--7--
A-3--5--7--
E-1--3--5--
Then, Hide launches into the solo. I only figured out like half of this:

I usually just make up stuff after that...it gets difficult, because my guitar only has 20 frets, and he plays some notes that are higher than that. Anyhow, enjoy the tab...email me if you figure out the rest of the solo.
