SAKURA NAGASHI (Flowing/Falling Cherry Blossoms) - Utada Nagashi
E|E|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------||
Tabbed by: theredlongitude
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.
E Standard (finger style)

Bridge 1 (1:00)
...I think you can call it the bridge, right?
You can just play straight chords, or you can do this.

Outro (2:39)
Same chord structure as Bridge 1, goes on till the ending
Okay, I know it looks harsh, but you don't need to be some old Spanish maestro to do it. 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.
