Pokhara Ta Sacchi Kai Po Pokhara Nai Raicha Guitar Chords

I'm particularly proud of this one. I'd tried to do a play along for this song for a long time and have never been able to. I put it down to an odd timing and just enjoyed listening to it. 

Yesterday, I tired once again and the chords just came to the guitar, so very naturally. This is a cool travel song, probably one of very few of its kind in Nepali music. In my mind, this song is about this guy who has heard quite a lot about Pokhara, maybe through his friends, and is visiting for the first time. When he gets there, the charm of Pokhara sweeps him off his feet. Probably coming from dusty Kathmandu and all of its responsibilities, the few days he's chilling in Pokhara frees him up and relaxes him like he's forgotten how to. He becomes a young man again, seeing the beauty in Pokhara's rolling hills, the blooming flowers, and of course the famous mountains. He's coming back to Pokhara for sure, this guy. 

How do I know? Because I've been this guy in my own way. And maybe you too. Do you remember your first visit to Pokhara? 

 Pokhara ta sachi kai po Pokhara nai raicha!! 

Hats off to Prem Prakash Malla for giving voice to this song. You try to remember how you felt in Pokhara, and sing it like that with your own twist now.
