Very enjoyable folk based song, just love it. Surprise song

 

....Apologies for my lengthy reply...

For others, just to give a bit of a background for this post....
As I always listen to only Maestro's songs daily, this song auto-played in Youtube 2 days ago.
I loved the Bass used in this song. So, listened again.
I then attempted to transcribe the chords using the technique that our legend Roentgen has mentioned in multiple posts in this group.
I did the below:
1. I downloaded the MP3 version with the highest bit-rate.
2. Then put on my Bass headphones
3. Set the Equilizer to "Full Bass" mode on my music player on my phone
4. Identified the Root note initially as F and played F Major chord in my guitar (did not work).
5. Then Tried F Minor.. Bingo!! It worked as I have now identified the scale of the song (yet I was litle confused whether it was F Minor or F# Minor)
6. Played 1st line of the song and replayed the 1st line multiple times and identified the Bass notes and slowly progressed every 5 seconds.
7. I repeated this process for all the lines of Pallavi
8. Then moved to Charanam and was able to identify only the first 4 lines as below
Beyond that, it was challenging to identify the Bass notes.
I knew my Chords will be way-off from what our Legend will identify, yet wanted to at least make an attempt.
Below are the chords that I identified. Knew it was not accurate and hence sent to Roentgen to correct them.

Pallavi
[Fm] Andha nilaava thaan... [Fm] naan kaiyila pudichen...
[Fm] Yen raasavu [Fm] kaaga...
[Fm] Yenga... yenga... [Fm] konjam... [Bbm] naan paakuren...
[Bbm] Kannai moodu… [Bbm] konjam… [Fm] naan kaaturen…

Charanam
[Fm] Mallu vetti [Fm7] katti iruk [Bbm] ku…
[Bbm] Adhu mela... [Bbm] manjal enna... [Bbm] otti iruk [Fm] ku...
[Fm] Muthazhagi [Fm7] katti pudi [Bbm] chi...
[Bbm] Mutham kodukka... [Bbm] manja vanthu... [Bbm] ottikidu [Fm] chu...

The next day Roentgen PM'ed me mentioning that he has posted in IGT.

Hi Rajesh,
Thank you very much indeed for posting the chords!!
What a superb set of chords!!
Mine are miles away in many places from yours but I am glad that I am at least 0.01% to your level in terms of accuracy of the chords!
Totally loved every chord. For convenience, I transposed into E Minor and played!! Simply awesome!!!

Loved the below lines in Pallavi and Charanam.

In Pallavi:
[Em] Yenga yenga [Em] konjam [Am] naan paarkuren…
-- Em to Am is superb!!
[D] Kanna moodu [D] konjam [C] naan kattu [Em] re
-- D to C to Em is marvellous!

In Charanam:
[G] Maargazhi [Am] maasam paarthu…
-- G to Am is semma!!
[B7] Maarula [E] kulirachu…
-- B7 to E is pinni pedal here!!
[E7] Sakkambatti… [E7] selai katti…
-- E7 is lovely here
[E7] Poothirukku… [Am] poonjolai…
-- E7 to Am is fantastic
[Em] Yekku thappu [Am] vendam…
[Am] Hmm… [Em] Hmmm…
-- Em to Am and then Am to Em in above 2 lines is mind-blowing!!

Thank you sooooooooooooo much for personally taking my request and posting the chords!

Kind regards,
Vijay
