Prelude
by Nobuo Uematsu
from Final Fantasies 1 through 15 billion
tabbed by Aaron Goldman: aaronlg@hotmail.com

here's a cute little song I figured out the other day. It's that song that
pretty much every Final Fantasy game uses for the title screen. Looks
confusing, but it's all just the same arpeggio moved up and down the neck.

now cycle back to the beginning and repeat over and over until you get
bored. Newer games have a flute popping in eventually. I don't have any of
the games featuring the flute on hand, but I think it went like this:

E|--------------------------------------------
B|--------------------------------------------
G|------------------------------------8-------
D|-9~~~--8--11--9~~~--9~~~--8--11--11---9~~~~-
A|--------------------------------------------
E|--------------------------------------------

E|----------------------------------------
B|----------------------------------------
G|----------------------/11---9~-8--------
D|-6~~-4--6--/8~-9-11--------------11-9~--
A|----------------------------------------
E|----------------------------------------

E|---------------
B|---------------
G|-/11--9-8------
D|----------11~~-
A|---------------
E|---------------

now cycle back to the beginning

and there you have it.
