At the end of the touching episode on female foeticide, Swanand Kirkire with his self composed song O re Chiraiya sung a heart melting song with Ram Sampath.

Those who want a cleaner chord, could use C instead of C9 – C9 is just easier to play, but Cmajor sounds better.

This entry is part 29 of 39 in the series Guitar

A cousin gifted me a harmonica, and my mama/uncle played an old song hai apna dil toh awara. And I was caught – how could’ve I missed playing this song on a guitar, besides trying to play it on harmonica / mouth organ.

This sweet song just rolls in the key of G, with simple 3 major chords in it, Gmaj, Dmaj and Cmaj

G                          D
Hai apanaa dil, to aawaaraa,
          C             G
Naa jaane kis pe aayegaa.
G                          D
Hai apanaa dil, to aawaaraa,
          C             G
Naa jaane kis pe aayegaa.

Verse 1:
G
Haseenon ne bulayaa, gale se bhee lagaya,
D                 C               G
Bahut samajhaya, yahi naa samajhaa,
G
Haseenon ne bulayaa, gale se bhee lagaya,
D                 C               G
Bahut samajhaya, yahi naa samajhaa,

G                          D
Bahut bholaa hain bechaaraa,
         C             G
Na jaane kis pe aayegaa.
G                          D
Hai apanaa dil, to aawaaraa,
          C             G
Naa jaane kis pe aayegaa.

Verse 2:
G
Ajab hay deewana, na dwar na thikana,
D                 C             G
Zameen se begana, falak se judaa.
G
Ajab hay deewana, na dwar na thikana,

Ye dil hi humara, hua na kise ka,
G
Zamana dekhaa sara, hain sab kaa sahara,

Ye dil hi humara, hua na kise ka,
G                         D
Safar mein hain ye banjara,
          C             G

G                          D

Thanks to Danny (Dinesh) I heard this song, Its a very simple song to play on the guitar 😛

Strumming Pattern

D D U U D U

Just play easy and slow, during the chorus, you can add a little movement via F or C (as u’d like)

Chords

Should I offer up my hand
Dm                G   Dm
And save a wish for once
Dm                  G      Dm
For aaa.. aall of us
Dm  C             Dm

And should I offer up my hand
Dm                    G    Dm
And lay the guilt on myself
Dm                   G      Dm
So it's easier , to not stay, to not stay
Dm      C        F        C   F        Dm

[Chorus]
Because I found you in your corner
Dm                          G      Dm
I pulled you out of the clouds
Dm                      G       Dm
You left in such a hurry
Dm                 G      Dm
Your face got lost in the crowd
Dm                        G           Dm

Should I open up my eye's
Dm               G      Dm
or just ignore who you are
Dm                     G   Dm
And what you could have been
Dm       C              Dm

And should I open up my eye's
Dm                   G     Dm
and make believe you will change
Dm                        G      Dm
So it's easier to not stay, to not stay
Dm      C      F      C     F       Dm

[Chorus]

This entry is part 15 of 39 in the series Guitar

I came across the title of this song in one of my email conversations, I sincerely thank the person for this, since then I couldn’t wait to chord-ify the song.

The soulful ballad is in the scale of G, If you find that any chord is missing or slightly incorrect just simply strum the G chord.

Strumming Pattern:D D U U D U

It changes slightly during the chorus. I shall try to tab the intro and if possible within my limits, the interlude 😛

Orey manva tu to bavra hai
G                      C
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai
G                         C
Tu hi jaane tu kya sochta hai bavre
G                         C
Kyun dikhaye sapne tu sote jaagte
G                     C    G

Jo barse sapne boond boond
G              C	G
Nainon ko moond moond

G               D              C               G

Sun rahi hoon sudh budh khoke koi main kahani

Live – Selling the drama guitar tabs

This entry is part 22 of 39 in the series Guitar

I heard this song recently by Live and found it interesting if it could be played on a Guitar. Here is what I’ve managed.

Tuning: E standard, Capo on 1st fret

// Initial Tab played on 6th or the base E string
E |-6b--6-4-2--|
When u bend on the 6th fret, bend hard a full half note.
And return and play 6th fret again with 4 and 2 in quick succession.

And to love: a god
C              F
And to fear: a flame
C              F
And to burn a crowd that a name
Dm             F           C

And to right or wrong
C               F
And to meek or strong
C              F
It is known, just screem it from the wall
Dm                  F                C

Ive willed, Ive walked, Ive read
C               F           C
Ive talked, I know, I know,
    F       C       C
Ive been here before
C             G
