xKe ai nu ren
by: Jay Chou
First shot at putting something up here.
Save for the break between the first chorus and second verse, there's not much a guitar
in the song (I hear something resembling a guitar on the right channel, though).
I play something like the following for strummy rhythm purposes...it's not meant to
the piano/synth/etc.
And keep in mind other voicings (or even similar chords, e.g. Bb instead of Bbmaj7) may
just as well...this is just what I do, for better or worse. It'd probably be more
if you varied the voicings at different points within the song, did fun little
etc. You could probably also do some interesting things with a capo, especially if you
like the sound of open chords.

Second repetition is quite similar, slightly different rhythm and ends up descending in thirds.
