    I am making a very bold step in experimenting the chords for this "Thalaivar Song" composed by IR. One of my favorite song.

    I do not know how many of you have heard this nice number. Here is the song:

    Nallavanuku Nallavan - Unnaithane song - YouTube

    For the first time, I had attempted coding the chords for a full song. It is a maiden attempt. There may be several errors.

    Requesting the chord experts to freely correct the errors.

    To me the song appears in B Minor chord and the chords are chosen from the variation of the notes in the respective lines / words and not by listening. It is too far fetched dream for me to do like that.

    My version is as under:

    {Bm}unnai {C#m}thAnE thanjam {Bm}endru {C#m}nambi {Bm}vandhEn nAnE
    {Bm}uyir {F#m}pooveduTHu {Bm}oru {F#m}mAlaiyittEn
    {Bm}vizhi {Em}neer theLiTHu {Bm}oru {Em}kOlamittEn
    {C#m}malarin kadhavondru {Bm}thi{C#m}rakkindradhA
    {C#m}mounam veLiyE..{Bm}ra {C#m}thavikkindradhA
    {C#m}peNmai pudhith{Bm}Aga {C#m}thu***kindradhA
    {C#m}uyiril amudhan{Bm}gaL {C#m}surakkindradhA
    {F#m}muTHam koduTH{Bm}AnE {F#m}idhazh muTHu kuLiTH{Bm}AnE
    {Bm}iravugaL {Em}idhamA..na..{Bm}dhA
    {E}katti {Em}pidiTH{Bm}Al
    {E}thottu {Bm}izhuTH{Bm}Al
    {E}vetkam {Em}enna {Bm}saTHam {F#m}pOdu{Bm}thA

    Wherever, I have used C#m, usage of C#Dim will be better. As I play barre chords, I have diluted this usage.

    Hope you will enjoy this song and the chords.

    Please do put your views / comments / versions............... Sathya

    The tabs will follow once the chord wave cools down...............

    Pearl, I am trying to learn the chord progression in a song using a particular approach. As I said in the beginning, it is an experimentation. Yes, there will be corrections. I am eagerly waiting for other reviews / comments / suggestions....

    As far as the melody is concerned, the notes perfectly fit into the B Octave with minor signature. The tabs flow beautifully except in a place or two where it takes multiple notes. The song is neither in pure natural or harmonic or melodic minor pattern. In fact, in the word "Katti Pidithai" it moves to a major scale. I identified this as E Major. In fact in the previous line, "idham.....ana..dha" itself, a major note is used. The song is little complicated due to this variation / accidental.......... Sathya

    Thanks Jimi for your version. I will try this. But there has to be a root chord, which I had put as B Minor. This song is not so easy as it appears. It moves to different scale in the charanam.

    Excepting the place where you have used C# Major, where there is naturally a shift, the other chords still represent B Harmonic Minor family chords only.

    Let me try and also wait for other views............ Sathya

    Is the song is in Shivaranjani Raag?
    I've not put the youtube version as it is always in scale different to the original. I've downloaded the song from some site and the chords are according to it.. do try it and tell me.

    Not in Shivaranjani. It uses m1 and n2 extensively several time. It uses g2 except the place where the variation happens. It touches g3 only in the charanam - last 3 lines. The song uses d2 more and d1 is nowhere used & hence it does not follow the minor scale notes. The song starts like p p d2 S / d2 S G2 R2 S d2 p g2 r2 g2................ Sathya

    Well it was just a guess. I found that this song was sounding bit similar to the Kishore Kumar's popular number "Mere Naina Sawan Bhado" in pallavi part as this song is in Shivaranjani raag in Cmin scale.. so i concluded that the IR song is also in same raag.
    As Iam not expert in classical music. Thanks for the Info Sathya.
