I'm more or less sure that this thing is right, still, I'll appreciate any comments. I've tabbed it as I play, which is on two strings, to give a fuller sound, and I think this is how Los Lobos play it (or they do it with two guitars). Anyway, point here is, you can always play it much easily if you only play the last string (that's E, most of the times). Somehow, I can't figure out the chords. I'm pretty sure they land on Em and D, at the 7th and 5th fret, for the first bit, but I can't figure out the third chord, as well as the chorus chords. If someone can, I'd appreciate it if you would let me know. Remember that this intro is played throughout the song. Here it is, then, plus the lyrics: So this is the intro: -------7-7---7-7-8-7-7-7-8-7-7--------|------5-5-5-5-7-5-5-5-7-5-5---------- --------- -----8-8-8---8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-10---|------7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-7-8------ --------- ---9---------------------------9-11---|----7-----------------------8-9------ --------- -9------------------------------------|--7---------------------------------- --------- --------------------------------------|------------------------------------- --------- --------------------------------------|------------------------------------- --------- Then in come the chords, as above. The lyrics: Soy un hombre muy honrado, Que me gusta lo mejor A mujeres no me faltan, Ni al dinero, ni el amor ... en mi caballo por la sierra yo me voy las estrellas y la luna ellas me dicen donde voy ay, ay, ay, ay ay, ay mi amor ay mi morena, de mi corazon me gusta tocar guitarra me gusta cantar el sol mariachi me acompana quando canto my cancion me gustan tomar mis copas aguardiente es lo mejor tanbien la tequilla blanca con su sal le da sabor ay, ay, ay, ay ay, ay mi amor ay mi morena, de mi corazon me gusta tocar guitarra me gusta cantar el sol mariachi me acompana quando canto my cancion me gustan tomar mis copas aguardiente es lo mejor tanbien la tequilla blanca con su sal le da sabor ay, ay, ay, ay ay, ay mi amor ay mi morena, de mi corazon ay, ay, ay, ay ay, ay mi amor ay mi morena, de mi corazon Tabbing and Lyricking by Bruno Garcia "Support the Reebombers" - buy our very own War Bonds !!! Bruno 'Reebomber' Garcia I've seen the horror. The horrors that you have seen... But you have no right to call me a murderer. You have the right to kill me. You have a right to do that, but you have no right to judge me. ...All brontosauruses are thin at one end; much, much thicker in the middle and then thin again at the far end. That is the theory that I have and which is mine. (Ms. Anne Elk) No tears, please. It's such a waste of good suffering... To hunt rabbits, the best thing to do is to hide behind a bush, and then immitate the carrot's mating call... Ah, ah !! Campa! Bring your guitars...
