select id, seq
from tags
cross join (
    select 1 seq union all select 2 union all select 3 union all select 4 union all select 5
) seqs
order by id, seq

with recursive seqs as (
    select 1 seq
    union all
    select seq+1
    from seqs
    where seq < 5
)
select id, seq
from tags
cross join seqs  
order by id, seq

You can use an incremental variable as specified here;

In your case, the query should be like this:
```
SET @rowcount=0;
SELECT id, @rowcount:=@rowcount+1 as seq from tags;
```
