[CHORUS]
C                            G
Zindagi ...kaisi hai paheli, haaye
               F                C
Kabhi to hansaaye kabhi ye rulaaye
x2
C                     F
Kabhi dekho man nahi jaage 
                         C
peechhe peechhe sapno ke bhaage
x2
C               G
Ek din sapno ka raahi 
                      F        C
chalaa jaaye sapno ke aage kaha
[CHORUS]
Zindagi...
C                    F
Jinhone sajaaye yaha mele 
                     C
sukh-dukh sang-sang jhele
x2
C                   G
Wahi chunkar khaamoshi 
                F       C
yu chali jaaye akele kaha
[CHORUS]
Zindagi...
Strumming Pattern
Down Down Up … Up
In “chalaa jaaye sapno ke aage kaha”, the C chord has to be struck just once – down stroke, Same for “yu chali jaaye akele kaha”. Alternatively you can ignore strumming after G chord and just strum F chord once followed by last down stroke of C chord giving the “talk” feel.
Awesome. But the strumming pattern is swing beat. I was play.
