Papa Kehtay Hai - Sa-Re-Ga-Ma Notation

Key:
Sa Re Ga Ma... (we are in the normal octave)
SA RA GA MA - (higher octave, meaning shrill sound)
sa re ga ma - (lower octave, bass-y sound)
(Sa Sa) - play notes faster than the normal interval between notes.

Ga Ga (Re Re) Sa Re
pa dha Sa Ma Ga Re
Ga Ga Re Sa Sa Re
pa dha Sa Ma Ga Re

pa dha ni Sa Sa
Sa Sa ni dha dha
dha dha pa ma ma
ma ga ma pa

pa pa pa (pa dha pa)
pa pa pa (pa dha pa)
Sa Sa ni dha ma
ni dha ni sa pa dha pa
