trans Matt Carpenter
Let me just say that this song has a great bass line. The
rhythm
guitar is doing the same strumming pattern throughout and Jim uses a
flange
peddle. That is what that wind sound is at the beginning. To get the
Latin flavor try raising and lowering you first finger on the Am
chords to
get an Am sus2. And the same with the F chords but also put you pinky
(4)
finger down on the first string, 3rd fret.

Thinking of you, pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana.
Señor tú eres vicioso, veo los millones de años
y lágrimas en sus ojos
Señor, por favor, llévame a la Zona Rosa.
Mariachi y tequila, a bailar la noche sola
llevame al lugar de pass de mente
donde puedo olvidar Señor, tu eres muy amable
.
Mirando al cielo arriba
Intentar que no llorar
Dos tecates con lima
Thinking of you, pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana
underneath the mexican moonlight,
Thinking of you, pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana
underneath the mexican moonlight,
Thinking of you, pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana
underneath the mexican moonlight,
Thinking of you, pensando en ti bajo la luna mexicana
underneath the mexican moonlight,
