Subject: TAB: Cancion del Mariachi by Los Lobos

This is the intro for the Cancion del Mariachi, the song Antonio Banderas
plays in the movie 'DESPERADO'.

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:

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

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...
