Well, basically I like this song so much that I made a translation,
worked out the chords, and finally worked out a singable translation.
Keep in mind that because I needed to synch the Japanese lyrics to the
English ones, the singable translation doesn't convey the meaning of the
lyrics perfectly - that's what the full translation is for.
Thanks go to maskrider for providing me with the original Japanese lyrics.
He also has a translation on his page of the lyrics - this is not intended
to infringe on that or compete with his in any way...different people can
render the same subject matter differently. I recommend you take a look at
both if you are interested.

Notes :
1) As you can tell, the singable translation isn't THAT different from the
translation - I tried my best to make it sound good, make it singable,
AND retain the original meaning. It wasn't easy, I can tell you. ^_^
I hope you like it.
2) I'm not completely certain about the Fm and Bms in the song - they
don't sound 100% correct, but they are the best I can manage at this
time. If you come up with something better please email me.
