Guitar Chords: Roobaroo, Rang De Basanti

Guitar Chords and Tabs
(21 votes, average: 4.10 out of 5)

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)

The chord positions are given below.

==================================
Chord Placement (lyrics-wise)
==================================

[INTRO]

Throughout the intro u play this:

/ A / Dadd9 / A / Dadd9 /
/ A / Dadd9 / A / Dadd9 /
/ A / Dadd9 /

[VERSE]

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Aye Saalaaa

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Abhi Abhi

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Hua Yakeen

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Ke Aag Hai

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Mujh Mein Kahin

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Hui Subah

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Main Jal Gaya

/A…………/Dadd9…../
…Suraj Ko Main

/A…………/STOP………./A………../Dadd9……/A………../Dadd9./STOP/
…Nigal Gaya/……….Rooba-roooooo Rosh-niiii
Rooba-roooooo Rosh-niiii hai

AND SO ON

IN THE LAST LINE OF LAST PARA

    Hi Nikhil, you can refer to http://8notes.com/guitar_chord_chart/ for all the chord structures and details. Its quite exhaustive.

    By the way, its a good suggestion. I will think of including a separate chord section.

    Thanks Abhinav. I just wanted to ask u one thing,though this question may seem rubish, I am a begainer and I just know how to play swars on guitar. so can this tabs be converted into swar. I am also learning how to play tabs from internet. PLs do ANS. Thanks

  • Abhinav Says March 12th, 2009 10:34 pm

    Yes, the above tabs can be converted into swars, but it would be an unnecessary confusion. You will find tabs in the above format rather than in swars all over the internet so better get used to it. It is very easy.

    Practice different scales of C, D etc.. regularly and try playing some of the leads that I have posted here. With practice you will become comfortable with leads as well.
