Tum Hi Ho

How to play Tum Hi Ho by Arijit Singh on guitar

These are the sounding chords. With a capo on fret 1 you play Em, C, D, G, Bm, Am and more, the shapes the player above shows.

This song is a great one to learn if you want a smooth, emotional ballad feel. You get a steady, singing progression that lets you focus on clean changes and a warm, flowing sound. Played well, it feels calm and expressive rather than busy.

Most of the chart leans on barre shapes, with only C as an open shape, so your fretting hand needs to stay relaxed and accurate. The main change to watch is the opening move from Fm to C# and then to D#, since those shifts set the tone and can expose any hesitation. Keep your fingers close to the strings and aim for even pressure.

Start by looping the opening progression slowly, then add the rest of the chord sequence one change at a time. Once the shapes feel solid, practice at a steady count until the movement feels automatic. After that, bring it up to tempo in small steps and keep the transitions smooth.

Use the play-along above to follow each chord change in time with the music, or learn the shapes first with the chord diagrams below.
