"Maria Maria" by Santana 
As heard on the cd "Supernatural" 
This is my first time trying to tab out a song, so it may be a bit shaky. 
Each fill is separated by slashes or a new line. I didn’t bother with the 
rhythm; you can figure it out listening to the recording.

That’s the way I play it, anyway. I know some parts are wrong. If you have 
comments/suggestions/corrections please email me at rokstar20@hotmail.com 
This is about 3 or 4 pages printed, by the way.
