The pattern is Down, Up, Down, Down, Down. In the verse and in the chords, the last chord – G is just struck once (down) to end the pattern of G D C G.
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.
Key – G
Those who want a cleaner chord, could use C instead of C9 – C9 is just easier to play, but Cmajor sounds better.

[CHORUS]
Zindagi...
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.
This earthly song from Barfi! movie strikes the chord with the seventies and early eighties. Those who have heard the Murphy radio with their grand parents would relate much better. I prefer the Swanand Kirkire rendition with vocals coming straight through the heart.
There are around 3 basic strumming patterns in this song. One for the normal stanzas and other two for stanza ending and chorus.
