"Europa" By Santana

(please note - this is only my interpretation of the song)

This is an old time favourite. When it first came out - it went straight to number one. To this day, it still sounds just as good as when it first came out! Here is it...

 

RHYTHM:

Step 1:

Just a barre chord held a step below the top string (5th string)

E--5----3----|
B--6----3----|
G--7----4----|
D--7----5----|
A--5----5----|
E-------3----|

Step 2:

Changes to a C then to an A minor...

E----------|
B--1----1--|
G--0----2--|
D--2----2--|
A--3----0--|
E----------|

Step 3:

Same chord as step 1..then changes to an E major.

E-5--------|
