Standard (EADGBE)
Chords Used:
Intro
STRUMMING:
Now for the initial chord-play, the strumming technique is very essential.
The basic strumming goes: Up Down U D U D U D...
The first strumming starts with the Em chord. Here's a ROUGH idea of which strings to
strum, please improvize!
v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^ v ^
v = Down stroke
^ = Up stroke
NOTE - You must follow the SAME strumming pattern that I've demonstrated here using the
Em chord for ALL the chords, throughout the song.
The basic idea is to strum the bass note first, bass strings next and finally all the
strings twice or more. Listen closely to the song to understand the pattern i've
demonstrated in the tab above.
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Mahiya naa aaya mera, mahiya naa aaya
Mahiya naa aaya mera, mahiya naa aaya
Ranjhna na aaya mera, mahiya naa aaya
Mahiya naa aaya mera, ranjhna na aaya
Ankhaan daa, noor vekh ke
Ankhaan daa, noor vekh ke
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
*-*-No chord -*-*
(Play bass E string open, then slide down to the 12th fret, as heard in the song.)
Kamli ho gayi tere bina
Aaja ranjhan mere
Kamli ho gayi tere bina, Aaja ranjhan mere
Baarish barkha sab kuch beh gayi, aaya ni jind mere
Baarish barkha sab kuch beh gayi, aaya ni jind mere
Ankhaan daa, noor vekh ke
Ankhaan daa, noor vekh ke
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
(Just strum once henceforth)
Kothe utte behke ankhiyan milounde
Na jaana main tu kabhi chhod
Tere utte mar da, pyaar tenu kar da
Milega tujhe na koi aur
(Intro riff here, otherwise you can strum the same chords as mentioned previously.)
Tu bhi aa sabko chhod ke
Tu bhi aa sabko chhod ke meri
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Pani da rang vekh ke
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de
Ankhiyan jo anju rul de (Repeat)
An Advice: Don't sing-along some of the parts! :P It's pretty tough keeping up that
strumming pattern and singing along ESPECIALLY during the verses after the Chorus.
