The above link has the pdf that shows the tabs, and western staff notation for the vocals and interludes of the very popular Ilayaraja song: Ilayanila Pozhigirathu, versioned also in Hindi as Neele neele ambar par.
The same tab and western notation being played as a video, along with a real player playing the song on the guitar, is shown in the below video. Further down is a video that shows the chords of the tamil song being played with rhythm while the song (both vocals and interludes) is sung.
Watch the notes being played on the guitar, while the same notes are shown in red on the tab and notation section, above the player. Pause, see which note, fret, string is being played at the moment, watch which finger is being used, and correct yourself to get better and better with playing it on the guitar.

Students have reported that this video content format has made learning and retention much easier than other options they have used. Probably because of the simple reason that all the needed information is here in one place, without having to switch between any other content or learning material. Multi tasking is reduced to a minimum, leaving all the mind energy for the task at hand.
Also, probably because of the relief of knowing that there is nothing more that has to be referred to. That the video has the song detailed out with all the needed micro tasks clearly learnable. Confusion is reduced because the information is provided clearly, within clearly defined boundaries, in clearly defined positions, the usability of which is simple and clear. “Nothing more has to be done” feeling enables peace in oneself and allows one to just focus at the task in hand. (A butler video? :))

The chords for Ilayanila with strumming (vocals, interludes)
While the song being played as lead is not the toughest thing to do, compared to classical based songs being played on the guitar, the chords are a different situation.
Lot of chords, variety of chords, enough changes.
The below video has me singing the vocal parts and the interludes while playing the chords.
