Guitar chords by Armaan Malik · M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story (2016) · Key of E Minor
About This Song
Jab Tak by Armaan Malik from the 2016 biopic M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story is a heartfelt ballad with a beautifully simple chord structure. The song uses E Minor chord shapes with the guitar tuned half a step down (Eb–Ab–Db–Gb–Bb–Eb) to match the original recording. If you don't want to detune, a Capo on fret 11 (or play down one fret) can work as an alternative. The pre-chorus moves through Em/D/C/D, and the chorus expands to Em/D/C/G/D. The verse section introduces G/Bm/Am/D for a broader harmonic range. A deeply emotional song well-suited to intermediate guitar players at JBX Music, Mumbai.
