Chords for few more songs and video for Tamil Song - Ellaavatrilum Neer

I just added a video showing chord arrangements for the Tamil worship song, "Ellaavatrilum Neer Maelaanavar". Here is the video:



Finger positions for few relatively uncommon chords involved in this song may appear to be difficult. In the video, I have attempted to give some practical suggestions that may be helpful in conveniently changing the finger positions for these uncommon chords during the song. As I started writing chords for this song, I realized that this song can be a nice example to demonstrate the utility of  5 note chords (FmM9 and FmM7+13) and even a 6 note chord (FmM9+13/G) in guitars. Such chords may be relatively more difficult to be positioned for common use in guitars as we more often use just four fingers on the fret board. In keyboards, the notes of such chords can be split and positioned using two hands. This is one of the few songs in which even guitarists can enjoy using 5 note and 6 note chords with little additional practice.
 
For quick reference, I am also giving some of the chord diagrams here in this post. The pdf file with the written chords and chord diagrams can be downloaded from Chords - Tamil Christian songs page at the top of this blog.
Along with this update, in the pdf file, I have also added chords for common FMPB songs - Hallelujah Kartharaiyae and Irul soozhum kaalam.
