There are two versions of this song, but as you might have guessed, I like the slow one (From the Heart) as it gives more scope for guitar playing. Fortunately, this song uses basic chords, though I would suggest to use barre chords instead of open chords if you know how to play it.

I have also tabbed the interlude part in between the mukhda and first antra. I didn’t give it enough time and it is a simplified version of the original which uses more effect. If any pro guitarist can suggest an improved version, it is most welcome!
