    Karz Theme music
    G chord
    E---3-----3-3-5-7-7/10-7-7~---10-12-9-10-7-9-5-5h7-7-5\3-3----------------------
    B---3---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    G---4---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D---5---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A---5---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    E---X---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    E-3-3-3-3-5-7-7/10-7-7~---10-12-9-10-7-9-5-5h7-7-7-7----------------------------
    B-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now comes the fast part:
    E--10-9-10-9-7-9-7-9-10-9-7-10-9-7-9-7------9-7-9-7----9----9-9-7----9-7----7---
    B---------------------------------------------------10---10-------10-----10---10
    G-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    E-7----7--------------7------7---------------------------------7----------------
    B---10---10-8-10-8-10---10-8---10-8-10-8-----8-(8times)---8-10---10-8-7---------
    G-----------------------------------------------------------------------9-7-----
    D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Now comes the part which rhymes with "Ek hasina thi" song from, of course,
    the same movie.
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    B--7--5-7-8--7--5-7-8--7--5-7-8-5---5-5---5-7--------5-7-5h7-5------------------
    G---------------------------------------6-----8----8----------------------------
    D-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    A-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    E-------------------------------------------------------------------------------Comments?

    You must listen to the song. Thats all there is to strumming... practice and listen... listen and practice. Thats it, seriously!
