#----------------------------------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....

Instrumental II --------------- He plays from the Gm7 to C7 (marked by stars) ************************************************************************ * Rich Kent; email r.p.kent@dur.ac.uk ; http://www.dur.ac.uk/~d213ga * ************************************************************************
