Hello Rajesh,
Wow!!! 1st of all, thank you for the selection of the beautiful melody song!

Simple yet fabulous chords as always from you. Thoroughly enjoyed end to end. I have already played over a dozen times

In Pallavi, C and F are Major chords but in Charanam they change to Minor. Attagaasam Ji. Chancey illa!!!
Wow!!! I was pleasantly surprised to see Bb chord in C Major scale... Only Maestro can do such mind-blowing compositions!

I honestly enjoyed the progression in the below lines:

In Pallavi:
Isai[F]thae[C]ney... isai [F]thae[C]ney...
[F] Maa[C]ney... ila… [F] maa[C]ney…
-- F to C is amazing

In Charanam:
[C] Maalai veiyil [Em] velai[Am]yil...
-- C to Em to Am is awesome

[C] Madhurai varum… [Am] thendra[G]ley…
-- C to Am to G is simply superb

[G] Nanjai punjai [G] naalum undu...
[Cm] Neeyum… adhai… [Cm] aalalaam…
-- G to Cm is semmmmmmma!!

[C] Raajaa... [Bb] needhaan...
[Fm] Nenjathiley… [C] nirkum pillai..
-- C to Bb to Fm to C is pinni pedal Ji.... What a feel after playing these chords!

Superb chords Rajesh!!! Thank you very much for the lovely chords!

Kind regards,
Vijay
