This song is just Gm F C Dm all the way through (key Dm).
It's played on some strange Mexican instruments that I had never heard
of until figuring this tab out.
The 8-string used for the rhythm is a jarana jarocha with the typical
5 courses: single string, three double strings and another single,
tuned G C E A G but you can play the chords on a guitar or uke.
It's a down up 3 beat rhythm with a swing to the beat.
The 4-strings are probably jarana jarocha requintos tuned almost
like the guitar's 2nd-5th strings, except the B is tuned up a half to C.
It's a little easier to play that way but I've tabbed it standard.
If you tune A2•D3•G3•C3 like they do just play one fret down on the B-string.
The lead 4-string continues fingerpicking like the intro into the song.
He continues the solo into the last verse. Even a low-G tenor uke doesn't
go low enough to play the notes on the D-string, but you could pick out
the chords in your own way.
