Chords Used

Am – G – F – E – C

These chords give a simple and comfortable arrangement for acoustic guitar.

Tuning: Standard EADGBE
Capo: Not required
Suggested Key: A minor

Strumming Pattern

Recommended Pattern

D – D U – U D U

Where:

D = Down
U = Up

Because this is a slow romantic song, keep the strumming soft.

Another pattern that works particularly well is:

D – DD – DD

Use the second pattern when you want a more spacious, old-Bollywood feel.

Intro

Start with a gentle progression:

Am | E | Am | E | Am

Let the final Am ring before starting the vocals.

Mukhda

The main refrain can be played using:

Am → G → F → E → Am

The progression should be played slowly, allowing the vocal phrases to breathe.

Chord Progression

Am | G | F G | Am

Then:

Am | G | F G | Am

The E chord can be used before returning to Am to give the progression a stronger resolution.

Antara

For the verses, try:

Am → C → Am → E → Am

followed by:

C → Am → F → G

Then resolve back to:

Am → G → F → E → Am

This gives the verse a slightly different feel while keeping the arrangement simple enough for beginners.

Complete Beginner Progression

If you are just starting out, you can simplify the entire song to:

Am | G | F | E

and return to Am at the end of each phrase.

Once you're comfortable with these four chords, add C where appropriate.

Playing Style

The song sounds best when played gently.

Instead of continuous heavy strumming, try:

Verse: Light fingerpicking
Mukhda: Soft D-DU-UDU
Ending: Slow downstrokes and let the chords ring

This gives the guitar arrangement a more emotional character.

Guitar Tip

The transition between F and E can be particularly important for getting the mood of the song right.

If you're a beginner and find the full F chord difficult, start with an easier version of F and concentrate on keeping the chord change smooth.

Practice:

Am → G → F → E → Am

slowly until you can change chords without interrupting the rhythm.

Once that progression feels natural, try adding the complete strumming pattern.

🎸 Happy playing!
