A R Rahman has rolled out another romantic song straight from the hearts of those million people who share it with him when surrounded by his music. It is a beautiful song with music complementing the vocals wonderfully. The strumming pattern is a bit unorthodox which involves muting with the left hand but it is very easy. So here goes..
Gm - 333553
Cm - 34553X
F - 112331
The starting interlude has to be strummed as well as muted. Considering it to be a 3-beat sequence, hit the chord DOWN twice and then instead of striking on the 3rd beat, just mute the chord. That should produce the desired effect. If you find a better way, do tell me. The interlude chords are as below:
Interlude
Gm — Gm — Cm
Gm — Gm — Cm
The above steps has to be done for each instance of the chord in the interlude. Now the song starts…
MUKHDA
Kabhi ka(Gm)bhi Aditi zinda(Gm)gi mein yuhi koi (Cm)apna lagta hai.
Kabhi ka(Gm)bhi Aditi wo bich(Gm)har jaaye to ek (Cm)sapna lagta hai.
Aise mei koi (Gm)kaise apne (Gm)aansu o ko (Cm)behne se roke?
Aur (F)kaise koi sochle every(Gm)thing’s gonna be ok?
The first two lines of the above stanza can be played without continuous strumming i.e. by just playing the interlude.
Kabhi ka(Gm)bhi to lage zinda(Gm)gi mein rahi naa khu(Cm)shi aur naa mazaa.
Kabhi ka(Gm)bhi to lage har (Gm)din mushkil aur (Cm)har pal ek sazaa.
Aise mein koi (Gm)kaise musku(Gm)raye, kaise (Cm)hasde khush hoke?
Aur (F)kaise koi soch de every(Gm)thing gonna be ok?
The INTERLUDE is played again once but it is delayed by half a bar.
Gm - Cm - G
ANTRA 1
(A#)Soch jara jaane(Cm)ja tujhko hum (A#)kitna chahte hai.
(Gm)Rotein hai hum bhi a(F)gar teri ankhon mein (A#)aansu aate hai.
(Gm)Gaane to aata na(Cm)hi hai magar phir (Cm)bhi hum gaate hai(Gm).
Ke Aditi (Cm)maan kabhi, kabhi (Cm)saare jahan mein an(F)dhera hota hai;
Lekin (Cm)raat ke (Gm)baad hi to sa(F)vera hota hai(F).
MUKHDA Again
More repeat of INTERLUDE and chord progressions…
ANTRA 2
(A#)Tu khush hai to la(Cm)ge ke jahan mein (A#)chhaayi hai khushi.
(Gm)Suraj nikle (F)baadlon se aur (Gm)baatein zindagi.
(Gm)Suun to jara mad(Cm)hosh hawa tujh(Cm)se kehne la(Gm)gi.
Ke Aditi (Cm)wo jo bichhad-te hai (Cm)ek na ek din (F)phir mil jaate hai;
Aditi (Cm)jaane tu ya (Gm)jaane na phool (F)phir khil jaate hai(F).
MUKHDA Again…
Thanx Namrata, for bringing this song to my attention. Wouldn’t afford to have missed this song for anything… Unfortunately, when you are immersed in computers, TV becomes an accessory rather than a necessity and my case is similar!
Thanx Nikhil for suggesting better Antara chords!

i have tried to play this many times but not able to get the rhythm properly.. please help me out…
[Reply to this comment]
Good stuff but…
I believe there is a fair amount of Bb thrown in this song… Its not a simple Gm F Cm combo…
I am also sure that adding D during …andhera hota hai makes the round up neater… check it out…
I was hoping somebody would have cracked the title track ( the jazz number) looks like It’ll have to wait….
[Reply to this comment]
@re-look at… The song is in the scale of Gm, I don’t think Bb will be suitable.
The D chord falls too flat at “andhera hota hai”… I think F fits best there. Maybe you can play D again after the words have been spoken, but there too F sounds better!
The title track is too jazzy for acoustic playing, try searching for it. Someone must have noted it out.

dude.. ur antara chords are not correct
(A#)Soch jara jaane(F)ja tujhko hum (A#)kitna chahte hai.
(Gm)Rotein hai hum bhi a(F)gar teri ankhon mein (A#)aansu aate hai.
(Gm)Gaane to aata na(Cm)hi hai magar phir (Cm)bhi hum gaate ha(Gm)i.
Ke Aditi (Cm)maan kabhi, kabhi (Cm)saare jahan mein an(F)dhera hota hai;
Lekin (Cm)raat ke (Gm)baad hi to sa(Cm)vera hota hai(Cm).

(standard tuning)
place a capo or use a barre chord at fret 7 and on D
string place finger on the 9th fret, and strum only D string and A string, then release finger and strum again: u know how to get the effect, cuz im just 16 and i got it, u guys must be smarter lol
and then the next part, still having a capo on or barre chord on 7th string, do the same thing as be4 but only change between strings G string and D sting only i.e. place finger on 9th fret of g string and d open, and strum as before…
heres a link to a sound clip if u wud like to listen to how it actually sounds
http://www.box.net/shared/4tc1×66o8s
enjoy
oh btw, at the end of the sound clip, i added that part which is unusual i.e at the part where hes done with the 2 paras.. after he goes like “everythings gonna be ok” for the first time… ud know if u listened to the song :), its easy to fugure out
Thnx btw, im Shuvo

n can we use ” Cm position —>888 10 10 8 ??
remarkable work though…thnks
[Reply to this comment]
Place 3rd finger (ring finger) on 4th string (D) - 7th fret and 1st finger (index) on 3rd string - 5th fret. Now, pluck both the strings at once and slide backwards so that 3rd finger is now on 4th string 5th fret and the 1st finger is on the 3rd string 3rd fret. then pluck both strings once again. once again…this would give the sound of the first intro..hear the song and keep playing it till u get the timings right..
For the second one, do the same with with 3rd finger on 3rd string 7th fret and 1st finger on 2nd string 5th fret.
Pluck both these strgins and slide backwards to 3rd finger on 3rd string 5ht fret and 1st finger on 2nd string 3rd fret.
this shld give sound of the intro
[Reply to this comment]
What i meant was strum, then hit the strings with ur fingers (right hand, the one u strum with to mute) and then strum again, try it and lemmi knowthnx btw
[Reply to this comment]
Hi Sheki! I will try to explain the strumming pattern. Its very simple.
Consider a two-beat sequence. This means two beats (strokes) per second. So the strumming should go like this: (D-|DM) In the first ’second’ hit DOWN in the first beat and do nothing in the second beat. In the next ’second’, hit DOWN again in the first beat and MUTE(M) in the second beat. Muting can be simply done by releasing the pressure of your left hand while holding the chord. You can also mute using the right hand as suggested by Shuvo though it is tougher to master.
Hey Sandy What you have suggested sounds really close to original but only the first part. The second part doesn’t sound good. How about 3rd finger on 3rd string, 7th fret and 2nd finger on 2nd string 6th fret.. now slide it backwards by 1 bar (2 frets).. also you can use your 4th finger just above your 3rd finger in both parts. Then you will realize that you are actually playing Gm and Cm which is exactly what I have posted! But that’s an excellent improvisation!

Otherwise, a little more clarity would be really appreciated. The problem is that I’m just unable to understand that (being an extreme beginner, i guess).
Anywayz, very well done! Your blog is awesome!

And then when you talk about interlude Gm-Gm-Cm, I’m all confused there.

Unless that site is yours too
@Juhi: The website (link below) has all the chords explained pretty nicely. Gm and Cm are there as well and nicely explicated.

Yup Juhi, the website mentioned by Anas will explain everything. Practice barre chords… without it you won’t be able to play most of the songs.

I am really for sorry it. I apologize for what I have done. I have now written your name as a contributor on my blog http://www.livingguitar.blogspot.com . I hope its clear now. Thanks for making me realizing my mistake.

place ur index finger on 5th string, 5th fret; middle finger 4th string, 5th fret and ur little finger on the 4th string 7th fret;
now strum the two strings once and remove the little finger and strum it again. Repeat this twice and then shift the whole formation one string down i.e. index on the 4th, middle on the 3rd and little on the 3rd repeat the strum pattern once. play this whole sequence twice

I play it with pull-offs on D string. Try this 7 pulloff to 5th on D string. Then C minor. Of course use muting in C minor.this is perfect according to me.
[Reply to this comment]
What you all are suggesting is fine but if you watch this song in the movie, you can see the girl playing the chords at the start and not any lead. What she plays is
Gmadd9-Gm-Gm
Gmadd9-Gm-Gm
Cmadd9-Cm-Cm
So try to play this as I have suggested above with muting.
[Reply to this comment]
Thank you for your hard work and to other contributors which made me play the song easily… I’m extremely thankful to you!!!
Keep it up!

Awesome job on the chords man!!! They all work out perfectly
although, you kno the part in the songs that goes
“Hey Aditi Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Has De Tu Zara
Nahi Toh Bas Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Thoda Muskura”
right after the 2nd mukda
i think u said to play the interlude once again…but do u kno exactly what chords to play?
and ur interlude: Gm-Cm-G
gm and cm are fine, but when they go to G, they use a different picking w/ chord variation 3 times rite? correct me if im wrong, cus im not completely sure
but great tab, and this is an awesome song. nice work!!!
