What's it for? - Yoko Kanno
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: XCrusherX@gmail.com
Tuning: Drop D (DADgbe) with capo on the 3rd fret
Note: I'm pretty sure the original song has some kind of open tuning closer to a standard tuning with
a capo on the first fret. That's pretty clear from the harmonics at the end of the chorus.
I tried to tab a version that works with a more common tuning since I personally don't play open ones.
Note 2: As with most songs from Yoko Kanno there's much variation for each verse, chorus etc.
This tab only acts as a general guideline since I had huge trouble filtering the guitar
out of the mix anyway.

* This one is actually two harmonic 7's (e and b string) when the strings are tuned one step lower
(so capo on the first fret).
