Hi everyone, this time I'm going to TAB the (most) famous song Poth Chola by Artcell (album - Onno Shomoy)... I did it, because (can't halp it )... First let's get the lyrics upfront, shall we? verse 1: amaar poth chola amaar pothe jeno bela sheshe akaash kaar mohe prechorus: amaar shopno amaar shathe jeno shopne phire ashe shopno hoye khuje pae jeeboner teer jeebon ke kono shopno bhebe chorus: aami kaar asha te ****e choli pothe pothe jeno kaar maya te badha poreche jeebon je koto shukh kolpona koto miththe *obhinoy* (prolobhon?) koshter prothiti khon shonae taar aobhan verse 2: amaar aloe alokito hote cheye adhare miliye bridge: aami aaj nei tobu koto shur othe beje tomaar ei gaaner majhe ei poth geche mishe amaar bela sheshe shopno phire ashe prithibir dur deshe jeebon ke kono ek shopno bhebe Before chords let's know our rhythm. On guitar we have two type of strummings -- down strokes and upstrokes. DUDUDUDU|DUDUDUDU <= pattern D.DU.UD.|D.DU.UD. <= 4/4 rhythm (used frequently) D...D..U|.UD.DUDU <= 4/8 rhythm (used more frequently) D..UD.D.|.UD.DUDU <= poth chola rhythm dots(.) mean don't strum where indicated. here's the verse part... G 320033 Cadd9 032033 Em7 022033 -G------------Cadd9---Em7------G-- amaar poth chola-aa, amaar pothe --G----------Cadd9--Em7----------G- jeno bela sheshe akaash kaar mohe then prechorus... be careful, we're using both E major and E minor... E 022100 B xx4442 or 224442 C 332010 Em 022000 E---------B--------------C-- amaar shopno amaar shathe -----------------Em----------------- jeno shopne phire ashe shopno hoye G-------Cadd9------Em7------ khuje pae jeeboner teer ----------Cadd9----------G--- jeebon ke kono shopno bhebe Now we need to know our rhythm even better ... D..UD.D.|.UD.DUDU * . . * . . .* * means you play it with an accent (play it a bit louder) Now the chorus part -- D 200232 Dsus4 300233 ----------G-------- aami kaar asha te ------Cadd9-------Dsus4-- ****e choli pothe pothe ----------G-------- jeno kaar maya te ------Cadd9---Dsus4------ badha poreche jeebon je -----------G-------- koto shukh kolpona -----Cadd9-----Dsus4--- koto miththe *obhinoy* (prolobhon?) --------G-------------- koshter prothiti khon ----------Cadd9-Dsus4----G----- shonaa-aa-aa-e taa-ar aobhan Intro -- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- E-|3-------|--------|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|3-------|--------|--------|--------|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|2-------|--------|--------|--------|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----7---|--5-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|----0---|--------|--------|- A-|3-------|--------|--------|3-------|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- Then play -- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|--------|--------|--------|------2-|- E-|3-------|----3---|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|3-------|--------|--------|------3-|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----3---|--2-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|2-------|--------|--------|------0-|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- e-|3-----5-|----7---|--5-----|3---2---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|----0---|--------|--------|- A-|3-------|--------|--------|3-------|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- (this figure is easier to play than what blue_prince has TABbed, and most probably his one is more accurate) The bridge part is in 6/8 rhythm (listen to the song) -- DUDUDU|DUDUDU <= 6/8 pattern D..UDU|D..UDU <= bridge rhythm G------------------ aami aaj nei tobu Em7------------------ koto shur othe beje Cadd9--------------Dsus4-- tomaar ei gaaner majhe G-------------------- ei poth geche mishe Em7---------------- amaar bela sheshe Cadd9-------Dsus4-- shopno phire ashe G---------Cadd9------ prithibir dur deshe G--------------Em7----G-----Cadd9----G------ jeebon ke kono ek shopno bhebe-ee-ee-ee-ee Near the ending of the song, where the verse is repeated for the last few times, the key goes up one step (2 frets on guitar) to A -- G > A Cadd9 > D Dsus4 > E A 002220 D 200232 E 022100 In the instrumental part, the second guitar plays this figure over the intro figure -- . . . . *A=10 e-|7-----A-|----8---|--7-----|8---7---|- B-|--0-----|0-----0-|----0---|--0---0-|- G-|----0---|--0-----|0-----0-|--------|- D-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- A-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- E-|--------|--------|--------|--------|- Actually this is the complimentary harmonized intro part.
