1000 Words Written by Kazushige Nojima, Noriko Matsueda, and Takahito Eguchi Transcribed by Sibre Collard This is mostly a transcription of the arrangement in the Final Fantasy X-2 Ultimania Omega, but with quite a few changes to better match the English version of the song, specifically the "Orchestra" version that accompanies the end credits. I tried to match the original timing as best I could, so if there's one dash between notes, that's a sixteenth note, two dashes is an eighth note, and so on. If it's longer than a quarter note, I put an L to remind you to let it ring. Standard tuning. Optionally, a capo on the 1st fret makes it even easier to play. And for beginners (like me) that have trouble with double pull-offs, just play the last note, it sounds just fine that way. e.g. instead of 4p3p1, just play a 1.
