Help transcribing

Hello, is there anyone who could help to transcribe an Indian song to make it playable on acoustic?
I'm still learning guitar so I would need it to be fairly simple to play, or as simple as possible. I am willing to put all the necessary work in to get it right so I'm not afraid of working my fingers to the bone.
The song is called, tumhe mere mandir, tumhe meri poojah.
If anyone would like the challenging of helping me do this, I will be really grateful.
Thank you

what do you need to play the chords or the melody?

Hi, polyal. Thanks for responding.
I'm not sure what is best? I basically want to be able to play it and sing the song so I need it to fit with that. What would you suggest to be best?

get the melody sorted first using the 12note scale then sort the key you want to sing it in
you will then need to fit chords round the melody...referring to the original song trying to keep
as near the same 'feel' as pos

try Fm to C for the first 2 chords and go from there...

I was hoping that maybe I could have some sort of tab or route to follow? I can adjust to fit the music so I'm flexible as far as my voice goes, I just find it easier having something to follow as far as playing goes. I will try what you've said but if it is possible to have something for me to follow that would be a big help.
Thank you

trying to help here..the song is built up around a few basic chords em/d/b etc( if you use the key of Em..the track is in Fm ( or near ).....what chords do you know on the guitar ? these chords must be learnt if you are going to play it on guitar

I know all the chords you've mentioned other than b but I have a chord chart and I'm learning quickly.
I really do appreciate your help. I'm sorry if I seem a but frustrating to you sometimes, I don't mean to

I know E, Em, G, D, A, Am, F (though I struggle to hold it because I catch the strings sometimes), Fm, and I'm just attempting to get the hang of C. I don't know any barre chords. I have a sheet but I haven't learnt any of by heart yet.
I'm starting to get better at changing from one chord to another with a little more ease than I did it at first.

learn your chords then you can start singing the melody of the song and playing the chords that fit the melody best..since theres no written music anywhere ?..its just a case of trial and error..you'll know when the chord is right by just listening..if you start with Em the rest of the chords will be relatively simple..keep practicing and have a look on youtube for beginners lessons...i shouldn't worry about the song just yet..practice your chords and make sure you know the names of the chords you're playing....enter the old addage ' dont run before you can walk ' most important of all.....keep practicing
