Biography:
?????? (The Seatbelts) is a Japanese blues/jazz band led by composer and instrumentalist ????? (Yoko Kanno). Their style is very diverse and ranges from straightforward big-band jazz to more refined rock 'n roll and blues ballads.
Since most of the band's prolific output revolves around instrumental work, The Seatbelts have no de facto lead singer but Steve Conte (from The Contes and Crown Jewels) and ???? (Mai Yamane) have contributed to and sung for several tracks.

Title - The Real Folk Blues
Composer - Yoko Kanno
Performed by - Seatbelts feat. Mai Yamane
Album - Cowboy Bebop OST
This is the full version of the end theme from Cowboy Bebop. I found the Cowboy Bebop
OST Band score, but that didn't provide tabs or chord boxes - all electric guitar
parts were written in standard notation, and all acoustic guitar parts written with
chord names and slash notation. So I had to figure out an easy way of playing the
acoustic guitar chords. Here's what I came up with, as well as the lyrics and approx.
where the chords go in relation to them.
|E A D G B e|
|-----------|
F#m7 |2 4 2 2 2 2|
A(add9) |x 0 2 2 2 0|
or |x 0 2 2 0 0|
D#m7(b5)|x x 1 2 2 2|
Dmaj7 |x x 0 2 2 2|
B7 |x 2 4 2 4 2|
E |0 2 2 1 0 0|
Bm |x 2 4 4 3 2|
F#m9/C# |x 4 2 2 2 4|
C#7sus4 |x 4 6 4 7 4|
C#7 |x 4 6 4 6 4|
F#m |2 4 4 2 2 2|
F#m7/E |0 4 4 2 2 2|
B7/D# |x x 1 2 0 2|
C#7/F |x x 3 4 2 4|
Aadd9/C#|x 4 2 2 0 0|
B7(9)/F#|x 2 4 2 2 2|
One of the trickiest fingerings is the B7/D# - C#7/F. I play it using this fingering:
B7/D# C#7/F
______ ______
||2||| ||||||
|||3|4 slide ||||1|
|||||| up to: ||2|||
|||||| |||3|4
With the B7(9)/F#, you could probably just play a B7/F# and fill in the (9) with other
parts if you like.
-Intro.
F#m7 A(add9) D#m7b5 Dmaj7 (repeat)
-Verse 1
F#m7 A(add9)
Aishi-teta to nageku ni wa
B7 F#m7 E
Amari ni mo toki wa sugi te shimatta
F#m A(add9)
Mada kokoro no hokorobi o
B7 F#m7
Iyasenumama kaze ga fuiteru
-Verse 2 (same as v.1)
Hitotsu no me de asu o mite
Hitotsu no me de kinou mitsumeteru
Kimi no ai no yurikagode
Mo ichido yasurakani nemuretara
-Pre-Chorus
Bm F#m9/C# D#m7b5 Dmaj7 C#7sus4 C#7
Kawaita hitomi de dareka na itekure
-Chorus
B7
The real folk blues
C#7 F#m F#m7/E
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake
B7/D# C#7/F Em7 D#m7b5 Dmaj7
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai
Aadd9/C# B7 C#7
Ichido kiri de owarunara
-Verse 3 (same as v.1)
Kibou ni michita zetsuboto
Wanagashikakerareteru kono chansu
Nani ga yoku te warui no ka
Koin no omoi to kuramitaita
-Pre-chorus 2.
Dore dake ikireba iyasareru no darou
-2nd Chorus
B7
The real folk blues
C#7 F#m F#m7/E
Honto no yorokobi ga shiritai dake
B7/D# C#7/F F#m7
Hikaru mono no subete ga ougen to wa kagiranai
-Chorus (same as first chorus)
The real folk blues
Honto no kanashimi ga shiritaidake
Doro no kawa ni sukatta jinsei mo warukuwanai
Ichido kiri de owarunara
F#m7 (eight measures)
F#m7 B7/F# F#m7 B7(9)/F# (repeat and fade)
That's all she wrote. Literally.
