*** The chord names are written above the words where they are played in the recordings
for those who sing and play.
*** As always, listen to the song for strumming and chord changes. This is only a rough
guide on how to play the song easily.
*** I rated this as novice because the timing takes a little listening and practice to
play it like he does.
*** Also, it sounds to me like he plays without a Capo, and when I perform this song I
usually play it without a Capo, with a sharp acoustic guitar sound with reverb, and using
barred chords.
*** Generally I have no problem with downloading, but Rodriguez got screwed by everyone.
He deserves your money and support, so if you like the songs, please BUY his album.
