(" They taught me it, and they are Cuban too.") Hey vcasal, maybe you can share your parents teaching? I would love to learn the traditional guitar chords for this song. Cheers

Ive never been to Cuba, but I have been beat up in Ybor City, does that count?Your parents probably played it in a dif key. These chords are close enuff. Leave out the C chord everytime you see it. JUst follow a progression of G....Am...D...pretty much over and over. Its not a complicated song. He also has a Bm? Why? BUt you gotta get used to doing the legwork. MOst tabs are just guides. I have never in my life seen a tab that I didnt want to change something in it.
