Dhun Guitar Chords

Dhun from Saiyaara uses Em, D, Bm, and C chords with a capo on the 3rd fret. These are all beginner-friendly open chord shapes. The original recording is in G minor, but with capo 3 you play the same shapes in E minor which is much easier on guitar.

Place your capo on the 3rd fret to match the original recording of Dhun by Arijit Singh from Saiyaara. Without a capo the song needs Gm, F, Dm, and Eb — all barre chords. Capo 3 gives you easy open chord shapes instead.

The strumming pattern for Dhun is D D UUD DDU — down, down, up-up-down, down-down-up. The song has a slow tempo of 66 BPM. It also sounds beautiful played fingerpicked using a simple p-i-m pattern from Lesson 22 of this course.

Yes — Dhun is one of the most beginner-friendly Bollywood songs of 2025. It uses only four chords (Em, D, Bm, C with capo 3), has a slow tempo of 66 BPM, and the chord changes fall at comfortable intervals. The only slight challenge is the Bm chord which uses a small barre at the 2nd fret.
