Melodies of Life (Theme from Final Fantasy IX)

6 8 8 -8 7 7
A-lone for a while, I’ve
-7 -6 -7 7 -8 6
been search-ing through the dark.
6 -6 -7 7 -6 -6
For trac-es of the love
6 7 8 -9 8
you left in-side my
7 8 -8
lone-ly heart.
8 9 9 -10 9 -9
To weave by pick-ing up
-9 8 8 -8 -8 8
the pie-ces that re-main.
-9 8 -8 7 6 -6 7
Me-lo-dies of li-f-e,
-8 8 -9 -8
love’s lost re-frain.

6 8 8 -8 7
Our paths they did cross,
7 -7 -6 -7 7 -8 6
though I can-not say just why.
6 -6 -7 7 -6 -6 6 7
We met, we laughed, we held on fast,
7 8 -9 8 7 8 -8
and then we said go-od-bye.
8 9 9 -10 9 -9
And who’ll hear the e-choes
-9 8 8 -8 -8 8
of sto-ries ne-ver told?
-9 8 -8 7 6 -6 7
Let them ring out lo-u–d,
-8 8 -9 -8
till they un-fold.

-9 8 -8 7 -7 7 -8
In my dea-rest me-mo-ries,
8 9 -9 8 -8 7 -8 8
I see you reach-ing out to me.
-9 8 -8
Though you’re gone,
8 -9 8 -8 7
I still be-lieve that
-7 7 8 9 -9 -8
you can call out my name.

7 -8 8 -7
Voice from the past,
-7 7 -7 6 -6
join-ing yours and mine.
-9 8 8 -8 -8
Ad-ding up the layers
-6 -7 7 -8
of har-mo-ny.
7 -8 8 9 8 -7 -6
And so it goes, on and on.
-9 8 8 -8 -8
Me-lo-dies of life,
9 -9 -9 8 8
to the sky be-yond,
-8 8 -9 9
the fly-ing birds,
8 -9 8 7 -8 -8 7 7
f-or-ev-e–r and be-yond.
