Ok so I love playing this song, its allot of fun. This song is NOT easy to play 
correctly because of how its played.  Its what's called Vamp, a spanish style i 
believe from Cuba. so ill try to explain it best as i can. another reason it can 
be hard is because of the polyrhythm between the lyrics and the chords. if ya got 
any questions ask

(verse)

I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a cryin shame
Cuz with every breath and every word 
I hear your name callin me..OUT!

Im from the barrio 
You hear my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turnin of the world
So soft and so totally... ROUND! and round
