Chords

As heard in Macross Plus. This document is based on the work of avalonstar12, who drew from the guitar cover by I've transposed the chords to the original key sung by Akino Arai, spread them throughout the lyrics, and added my own interpretation of the dreamy interlude part. (See the end for notes toward a weirder version, if you're ambitious.) I recommend playing the F chord in just the interlude as 5553. (The D6 should be 2222 so the progression escalates easily.) -- [Verse 1] (optional N.C.)

------- * I've simplified the first part of the interlude a lot. If anyone wants to take a crack at the real thing, here's what it sounds like to me. Feel free to use this to make a more complete guitar version. Fingerpick that Dsus2 alternating with a Dm, instead of just changing into Dm when the vocals start. Then see what you can do with this:

   (Dm)               F#7+5
furui        mahou no hon

D6/9                         DmM7
        tsuki no shizuku yoru no tobari

   D#maj7   Fmaj7     F   D#  Dsus2
itsuka     aeru   yokan    dake
