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..
This song involves 3 major chords… 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* *(F)*Soch jara jaane*(Cm)*ja tujhko hum *(Gm)*kitna chahte hai. *(F)*Rotein hai hum bhi a*(Cm)*gar teri ankhon mein *(Gm)*aansu aate hai. *(Cm)*Gaane to aata na*(Gm)*hi hai magar phir *(F)*bhi hum gaate hai. Ke Aditi *(Cm)*maan kabhi, kabhi *(Gm)*saare jahan mein an*(F)*dhera hota hai; Lekin *(Gm)*raat ke *(Cm)*baad hi to sa*(Gm)*vera hota hai*(F)*. *MUKHDA Again* *More repeat of INTERLUDE and chord progressions…* *ANTRA 2* *(F)*Tu khush hai to la*(Cm)*ge ke jahan mein *(Gm)*chhaayi hai khushi. *(F)*Suraj nikle *(Cm)*baadlon se aur *(Gm)*baatein zindagi. *(Cm)*Suun to jara mad*(Gm)*hosh hawa tujh*(F)*se kehne lagi. Ke Aditi *(Cm)*wo jo bichhad-te hai *(Gm)*ek na ek din *(F)*phir mil jaate hai; Aditi *(Gm)*jaane tu ya *(Cm)*jaane na phool *(Gm)*phir khil jaate hai*(F)*. *MUKHDA Again…* * http://www.abhinavsonkar.com/2008/06/03/guitar-chords-kabhi-kabhi-aditi-zindagi-jaane-tu-ya-jaane-na/ *
