#----------------------------------PLEASE NOTE---------------------------------# #This file is the author's own work and represents their interpretation of the # #song.

This is not really in his usual style it has a rhumba feel in 4/4 Note that halfway through the tune he takes off his capo and plays it open... I hope you enjoy it, it sure took long enough to tab out.. Notes and lyrics are at the end....
