Iktara, Wake Up Sid

Guitar Chords: Iktara, Wake Up Sid

Some songs can be so beautiful and so touching that you can feel the beats vibrating your hair follicles! As I am understanding music bit by bit with every song, I realize one fact that the greatest of the songs are composed with some of the basic chords that you might have been playing since long. It is the innovativeness and the skill of the musician which makes the song sound so wonderful.
Yesterday, I watched the movie Wake Up Sid. Very cool movie, a must-watch for every youngster as it touches many aspects of life, the most important being having a soul mate to enjoy the journey of life as you accomplish your goals.

The song uses basic open chords, and the strumming pattern is also simple, though it would require some practice for beginners. There are 2 strumming patterns with slight variation:
Strumming Pattern 1
| D | D- -D | UDU- | D |
Strumming Pattern 2
| D-U- | D- -D | UDU- | D |

Starting tune… Play chords (G) and (C)
MUKHDA
Use strumming pattern 2…
(G)O re manwa tu to baw(C)ra hai
(G)Tu hi jane tu kya soch(C)ta hai
(G)Tu hi jane tu kya soch(C)ta hai bawre

Tum Ho Toh, Rock On!!

Guitar Chords: Tum Ho Toh, Rock On!!

(Bb)Tum Ho (Am)Toh Hai,
Sap(Bm)no Ke Jaisa Ha(Em)sin
(F)Ek Sa(C)maa…

Bm is a good addition here as suggested by both of you and so is F though it is easy to miss!

Jo (G)Tum Ho Toh, Yeh (E)Lagta Hai,
Ke (Am)Mil Gayi, (F)Har Khushi…
Jo (G)Tum Na Ho, Yeh (E)Lagta Hai,
Ke (Am)Har Khushi, Me (F)Hai Kami…

Yep, the E sounds better than Dm above.

(G)Tum Ko Hai Maangati…(G)
Ye Jinda(C)giiii (Em) iiiii (F) iiii…(C)

I don’t find the second line to be correct… The Em doesn’t sound right there. I think Am is fine.

Tum Na(Dm)hi… Toh Geet Ka(G)ha…

Guitar Chords: Tum Ho Toh, Rock On!!

This song can be played on acoustic guitar very well as Arjun Rampal playes it in the movie. (At least he managed to learn the basic chord structures on the guitar!). Farhan Akhtar’s voice is raw but very soothing to the ears.

You can pluck the strings of the chords at the start and later strum the chords. The following strumming pattern can be used: | D- | -D | DUDU |

Tum Ho (C)Toh… Raahein Bhi (C)Hai,
Tum Na(Dm)hi… Toh Raste Ka(G)ha…
Tum Ho (C) (C/B) (C/A)Toh… Yahaan Sab Hi (C)Hai,
Tum Na(Dm)hi.. Toh Kaun Ya(G)haa…

(Bb)Tum Ho (Am)Toh Hai, Har (Bm)Ek Pal Meher(Em)ban
(F)Ye Ja(C)haaa…

Jo (G)Tum Ho Toh, Ha(E)wa Mein Bhi…
Mo(Am)habbato… Ka (F)Rang Hai
Jo (G)Tum Na Ho, Toh (E)Phir Koyi…
Na (Am)Josh Na… U(F)mang Hai…

(GSus4)Tum Mile Toh Mili(G)
Yeh Jinda(C)giiii(C/B)(Em) iiiii (F) iiii… (C)

(Gm)Woh ho… (Bb)Woh ho… (C)Woh ho ho… ho ho… x2
