NOTE FOR PLAYERS:
Sorry, I'm from Spain but I don't know the Spanish folk cadences very well.
The following chords are an arrangement from the record, maybe not the
perfect ones, but they sound well enough. The verse is built over a
descending variation of E (the 4th chord: I didn't known how to name it so
I've labelled it as "Emaj7/sus4") On the chorus you can use F#7 instead of
F#9 if you want. Anyway, this song is based on cadences of Spanish classic
music, (Rodrigo, Falla, Albéniz, Granados) it's not "flamenco" at all. Un
saludo!
