_-_-_-_-_-_-_-FORWORD-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
The idea to make a FAQ dedicated to the incredible soundtrack of Chrono Cross
came to me a while ago I guess. This will include, tabs, chords, and lyrics to the
wonderful final song, Radical Dreamers, hopefully in English AND Japanese.
Seeing how I’ve just explained what it is, read on to get the goods.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-RESOURCES-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
I will make some of the tabs here. I’ll also be e-mailing others to get tabs for the
game. The awesome Chrono Cross music book provides the chords. To order
the book (or the soundtrack itself), check out www.gamemusic.com for your
shopping needs.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-LAYOUT -_-_-_-_-_-_-_
At first glance below, the songs may look very complex and unorganized.
However, there’s a specific layout for the songs so that they can be learned as
quickly and accurately as possible. Below is an example.

***Here between the little stars is the title of the song***

Em7////////////////Em7////////C////////Em7////////Fmaj7////////Em7| Here we have the
song’s chords. The backbone of a guitar part in the case of this soundtrack.

Strange chord tab:
C(bass E) - - - - 032010
D(bass E) - - - Unknown
I’m not gonna tab every chord, only the ones that might give people a little
trouble. Such as these slash chords here. If a chord is “Unknown”, I simply
wasn’t able to figure the chord out. Help would be welcomed.

Even though you have the chords to a song, frankly, most of Chrono Cross’s
guitar parts are done with finger picking and have leads by another guitar or
another instrument over it. This being the case, the only way to learn a song
exactly the way you here it in the game is to have a tab. If a song here has a tab
to it, the tab will go right here below the Strange Chord Tabs.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-UPDATES-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
0.1 Very first post. Busy worrying myself sick that CJayC wont put this on the site
due to the heavy amount of Chrono Cross stuff there already. First songs:
I’ve done the first 12 songs on disk one, thanks to Mr. Spiffy for the tab of
Dream of the Shore.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-THE MUSIC-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
Here you go. Tabs will be added as received (or made), chords will be added as I
type them out.

***Dancing the Tokage***

This song actually has no guitar chords, but there is a guitar track (an
outstandingly simple one, I might add). So here’s the tab. Don’t hurt yourself
trying to learn it!
