Kenshi Yonezu - Orion (Acoustic ver.) Guitar Chord, Tab & Tutorial

Orion - 3-Gatsu no Lion; (March Comes In Like a Lion) OST guitar chord transcribe and tab. (acoustic arrange by Mafumafu).

Transcribe Summary

Do = Eb, 4/4
Capo 1st

Important notes :

• Chord progressions are affected by capo placement. All chord names (symbols) are written as if Do = D.
• Guitar tab fret numbers are not affected by capo placement.

Author notes : 

• Nice chord progression and transition between pre-chorus and interlude part. 
• There's a nice sounding G6 chord played quite often, very cool. 
• Lastly, Bm9 and Bm7 chord are played interchangeably so I don't bother which one is actually played.

Then, we play G6 and Bbdim7 for one bar, marking the start of second interlude part. We play a tab for this interlude. There's a nice sounding chord transition from Bm7 to A/C# chord with a slide on 5th string. Super cool!

And that's pretty much it! You should be able to play the rest of the song by practicing all of above chord progressions and tabs.
