great tab! thanks a lot, sounds really good. Everyone else that tried to tab this didn't do so well...

thanks for tabbing this : D

This sounds great, thanks a lot

i cried when aeris died =(

you're not alone D:

Hey this is awesome, you rock for tabbing this

wow when i played this it brought me back to when aeris died and almost started to cry...I too cried like chris and archard did T_T

I cried too because she lost her materia in water, poor cloud.. he'll never know. Great tab btw.

Really great job! Sounds just like the song. I highly recomend you continue making tabs for games!

"fart yall you go and go fart yourself" meatwad nice tabbing i loved it didnt really know how the song went but i youboobed it and learned how it went

sob...being a flower girl must s*ck

nice tab, it sounds great..thanx

well, i can't say i cried, but when i played this tab, which btw is a very good tab, it brought back memories.

Same as coolio. Made me wanna play VII all over again

iam very thankful for this becouse its the best song ever and i can think about things which i don't understand in the moment... tnx again friend

I cried when she died too guys. Don't worry, we all felt it.

Keep tabbing these things archard, they always bring me back to better days, Much appreciated.

i dono how feasible it is, this is awesome, but what about a version with more multi string play, like how theres now a version for the metal gear solid theme, something like the piano version of this song, if any of you play piano youll know what i mean i hope thx for the tabs guys its awesome here

This was the first song I learned to play on the guitar to keep me company as I improved my skill, you have my thanks archard :p

Great, just great! And yeah I cried to... very emotional there :'(

It is pretty good but the guitar pro version is better by far. no offence

What guitar pro version?

yea I wanted something more multi string too. think it'll sound better. it'd sound more complete too. love the tab as it is though, good job. I cried when Aeris died, but I'm a girl. Does that give me a good excuse? And damnit I want guitar pro whatever it is...all i hear is good things :[

Yeah... I don't know what it is there is some essence in this music that gives u feeling... I love it man this is awesome music thanks for that tab... oh and btw u guys arent a bunch of emo femi game geeks eith3r... im with u all the way :D

Great tab, Great song, Makes me want to play the game again. Nice job on it.

I love this song, tab and Aeris is my favourite character.

omggg sweettt I love so much this song!! Thx for it! It looks really good! Your the best! This is the best tab ever! thank ye :P

Really good thanks

nice... very nice... but it could have some more stuff added to it... ill just figure it it out on my on though, but thnx to you for making this tab for me to work off of. Props to you and tothe great Nobua Uematsu for making some of the most epic music I will ever hear in my entire life

waaah so emotional i cried too i must admit good times good times

Got rid of the guitar...now it time to buy another. Love the game so much i named my 2nd girl Aeris...no kidding!! and i did cry! no shame

im bad at reading these kinds i can only read the regular notes good

I was just wondering what 0h2p0 and 2h4p2 stand for? I don't get what I'm supposed to do when I get that part.... Please tell me, thanks!

Those are hammer on and pull offs.

wow, this must be a very popular tab, and i feel for u guys that cried, lol, but theres an easier way to play this song if u ask me....srry if its a bit off, tabing from sound (my fist tabbing, so be nice if im a lil wrong)tempo is a bit messed up, so just go with the flow

sounds bout right to me, but im srry if its wrong still

Yo guys, it touched my heart deeply... Thanks for the post, man! Just awesome!

Holy shi-- Winner tab by far (in my opinion)! T___T

WIN! :c

Very nice archard keep up the good work!

this is awesome

I cried when she died. This song made me play FF7 over from the very beginning to the end. And with me being a gaming freak, I had to find every little secret within the game.

Fantasitc, cant wait to learn this so i can shut everyone up by showing them my guitar is not a phase >.<

lol, i think i cried more when i was at the part at the very end... and then all my characters were sitting on the edge waiting for me to jump in and i was being stupid and used my save crystal and now i can't do anything... it sucks

im not expert at this... but in the first part where it goes 4 2 3 2 0 ETC... that 0 sounds a little off? is that just my guitar?

I didn't cry when Aeris died. I jumped for joy and did a jig. She always annoyed me to pieces, I hated her. Her and Tifa. So irritating. Come to think of it, almost all of the characters annoyed me. Red was cool, though. And Reno.

I always root for the bad guys, anywho. :/

The good guys being stupid hasn't stopped me from conquering the game four times, all secrets completed.

Kefka > Sephiroth. Sephirtoh was just messed up in the head. Kefka was pure evil.

...Anyway, back on topic. Very nicely tabbed. I've tried a few others which are a lot higher-pitched, but I think I prefer this one. Much simpler. Five'd.

I have to say, hearing this song always makes me smile, but I cry anyway. I don't care what anyone says, I played this game about two or three years ago when I was 14. I knew it was coming, I knew she was going to die.

Even so, when it actually happened, I cried and I then actually felt angry at sephiroth for killing her and the anger was somehow intenisfied by the fact that due to certain materia on cloud, he was invincible for the following boss fight.

It is easily the most recognized song in Final Fantasy besides one winged angel and the victory music. And Archard, you are my hero for tabing so many songs and making them so easy to play. Keep doing what you doing, and I'll keep on playing them.

has anyone tabs to play the accompaniment for this song so me and my friend can play it together

I just finished Crisis Core and I almost cry when Zack was killed. Now I understand better the whole Cloud-Aeris thing.

I almost cried when aeris died, but whenever i heard the song from the ancient village, my stomach would hurt, i just recently got over that. But yeah, this is a great tab, and i miss aeris. crisis core was amazing, truly and definitely amazing. I miss zack too.

ummm. why do people keep calling you Archard when your name is Richard?¿?¿?¿

does anyone know this for violin or piano?

tthis is good it only took me an hour to learn it and im just a noob so this tab seems to be simple enough but follows the sound exactly

This is Snake. Gametabs, can you hear me?

I played Final Fantasy VII shortly before fighting in Zanzibar Land. Even tough guys like me get emotional, and I can tell you, I was saddened deeply by Aeris' death. This music is excellent.

Archard, there's no one I'd rather have in a foxhole than you.

man this song is so beutiful and easy to play thx for tabing it =D

right on the money

i love this song not to gard to paly either

i love this song... but i think it's missing one thing... i don't know if its just me but it sounds like it's missing a 2 on the G string for the last note....

great tab and easy to play thx because made this tab...

tab is awesome thanks a bunch. im playin ff7 again, its the best game ever u get really attached to it. its kinda set me on an ff campaign to get every piece of ff merchandise i can and all the games. aerith is my favourite female character

I created an account to tell you thank you. Me and my two best friends played this game like crazy when we were younger. This music really is an important part to the game. Of course, I'd like the music whether it was part of the game or not.

Every once in awhile my friends get to feeling bad. They turn to me while I'm strumming my guitar lightly and they say: "Hey play Aeris theme." I do and everybody gets silent no matter where we are.

I told em' I'd play it at their funerals if I out live them. And, I demand it at mine as well. You know some of Mozart's best stuff came from his operas. I wonder if video game composers will be seen for their talent. Granted they're not all fantastic, but Uematsu is something different.

Final Fantasy IX has some great music like the them to Dali or Freya's theme.

Thanks again.

Archard, Thank you for creating such a fantastic tab for a wonderful composition. It's simple enough that a n00b like me can play it, yet it still allows all of the emotion that the song conveys to come across. Excellent work.

On another note, honestly, I cried more when Zack fell than I did when Aerith passed... Aerith went to the Forgotten City knowing it was going to be her grave... Then again, I suppose that Zack knew that that last fight was going to be his end as well. I still tear up whenever I hear those last words: "Hey, Cloud... Do you think I became a hero...?" In my eyes, I can't answer anything other than absolutely.

Love the tab but never like aeris. Red XIII ftw!

if i were to describe my teen years in 3 words it would be final fantasy 7, and being able to play these songs from the game, well its something else. i still cry when i see aeris die. but i digress, archard, u r a god amongst ants and i bow down to u!

Thanks for this awesome tab. Sounds real good.

Great tab and Kain's 1991 tab is okay to

Was the first song I learned on guitar, thank you! Brought me good memories =D

PS: Made an account just for commenting

that was the most wonderful tab i have ever played

ok, anyone who cried when she died is a normal person to me

and btw, nice tabs

Perfect tab

And everyone cries when she died, it's so sad

i thank you for this :)
