Note: For the very last note of the solo, I would recommend that you play it on 
the 5 of the low E rather than the 7 as indicated. The 7 is played on the record, 
but when playing alone you can go straight into Amaj7 to finish the solo and back 
into the chords and verse.

The verses following the solo are played exactly as indicated previous to the solo. 
There is a difference in the end, where 'Sabor a mi' repeats, and I have indicated below.


No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad 
De mi vida doy lo bueno 
Yo tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar 

Pasaran mas de mil anos muchos mas 
Yo no se si tenga amor la eternida 
Pero alla tal como aqui 
En la boca llevaras 
 Amaj7
sabor a mi 
  Dm7  Amaj7
Sabor a mi
 Dm7  Amaj7
Sabor a mi
  Dm7  Amaj7 (x02120@1)      
Sabor a mi...

The song ends with this chord strummed once.


  C#m7#5

Notes:

1. Behind the solos are just the verse chords....not the variation from verse two with the 
different ending, but the progression from verse one that ends with C#m7. 
This goes for both the intro solo and the middle solos.

2. The two-note, two-finger chords that accompany the main progression in verse 1 are struck 

   
repeatedly. You can hear it on the song recording.
