Guitar Chords: Roobaroo, Rang De Basanti

Posted by | October 2, 2008 .

Another of A R Rahman’s excellent composition which is completely based on an acoustic guitar.

Most people think the chords are A & D which is correct. But here are some minor changes & tips that will make it sound exact. Its easy, try it!!

Bandbaaja
  • TIP #1
    The Chords are A and Dadd9 (means include the E note)
  • TIP #2
    the last line chord just before the line KYON SEHTE RAHE is Amaj7
  • TIP #3
    For this song, the best way to get the same original feel is to use a CAPO on 2nd fret
    and play A (like the open G with D note – Pink Floyd style G chord)
    and then play the D (like open C with D note – Pink Floyd style Cadd9)
