The 7 is played on the record, but when playing alone you can go straight into Amaj7 to finish the solo and back into the chords and verse. The verses following the solo are played exactly as indicated previous to the solo. There is a difference in the end, where 'Sabor a mi' repeats, and I have indicated below. No soy nada yo no tengo vanidad De mi vida doy lo bueno Yo tan pobre que otra cosa puedo dar Pasaran mas de mil anos muchos mas Yo no se si tenga amor la eternida Pero alla tal como aqui En la boca llevaras

s^Amaj7abor a mi Sa^Dm7bor a^Amaj7 mi S^Dm7abor ^Amaj7a mi Sa^Dm7bor a^Amaj7 mi...

The song ends with this chord strummed once. C#m7#5 |--12-----| |--12-----| |--9------| |--11-----| |---------| |---------| Notes: 1. Behind the solos are just the verse chords....not the variation from verse two with the different ending, but the progression from verse one that ends with C#m7. This goes for both the intro solo and the middle solos. 2. The two-note, two-finger chords that accompany the main progression in verse 1 are struck repeatedly. You can hear it on the song recording.
