This is a really easy song to play, what makes it good is the your timing and
the way you play it. You have to have a Spanish feel to it or else it ends up
sounding like garbage. Not exactly sure if the English version is 100% but in
order to keep the timing and rhythum up we had to do a little editing and add
in a few words. When playing the song we've found it works best if you have
you lead player play the chords as bar chords while you rhythum player strums
the chords backing your lead. Alot of E-Mail messages went into the making of
this tab file, hope you enjoy it. Ah, ah!! Bruno, mahalo and bring you guitar.
