'Mundhinam Paarthene' Guitar chord

I like the songs of Vaarnam Aayiram very much. After a long time I took my guitar and tried the chords for the song 'Mundhinam Paarthene' (music composed by Haris Jeyaraj). Ok here is the chord sequence I played.


Pallavi
-------

Mundhinam | Paarthene ...
|  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |
|  A  |  A  |  G  |  G  |  D  |  D  |  A  |  A  |
|  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |  E  |  E  |  A  |  A  |
|  A  |  A  |  G  |  G  |  D  |  D  |  A  |  A  |

Vaanathil...
|  E  |  E  |  Bm |  Bm |  E  |  E  |  Bm |  Bm |
|  E  |  E  |  Bm |  Bm |  E  |  E  |  Bm |  Bm |

Ippodhe ...             Vandhalenna
|  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  Am |  Am |  Am |  Am |
|  E  |  E  |  E  |  E  |  Am |  Am |  Am |  Am |


Saranam
--------
Thulaa...
|  A  |  A  |  Bm |  A  |  A  |  A  |  Bm |  A  |
|  A  |  A  |  E  | F#m |  E  |  E  |  Bm |  Bm |
|  A  |  A  |  Bm |  Bm |  A  |  A  |  D  |  D  |
|  A  |  A  |  Bm |  Bm |  A  |  A  |  D  |  D  |
|  C  |  C  |  E4 |  E4 |  E  |  E  |  E4 |  -  | 





update:

i) Modified the Em chord in the last line of the saranam to E
ii) Tried to record playing the chords. Below are two versions of the same.

Thanks Jerald,

I tried the chords on my keys, but somehow they don't seem to match. Not sure if you have posted the chords in the original key signature. Anyway, here are the chords I found on net: http://www.indianguitartabs.com/showthread.php?p=380580 (read full thread).

BTW, did I mention to you that I am planning to buy and learn either acoustic guitar / classical guitar?

Jerald said...

Thanks for the comment Ramesh. The chords, may be some don't match? Let me review it one more time. Looking for a classical guitar? Great. Enjoy.

Ramesh I recorded the chord sequence and updated in this post. As you said the actual key of the song, may a note higher or something (as with the link you provided). Also this chord sequence is not the actual one played in the song. Just mine :) Please let me know your feedback.

Thanks Jerald,

Listened to the videos. Seems to be gelling well with the song vocals. Some places alone I had some doubts. Thanks for posting.

Regards
Ramesh

My apologies bro. I did not try to sing the song. Just wanted to share the chord sequence I played. Added video to support the tab.

scale is B major not E

Jerald said...

Thanks for your comment Sajith. You are right, the song is in the key of 'B'.

I played in the key of 'A'. I'm not sure I mentioned it as 'E' major anywhere.
