Hey, this is my first tab and actually a correction to a previous tab by DW Drummer,
which BTW is a nice one because is pretty easy to play and have fun...
but what I am posting here is much closer to what Rodriguez actually plays,
specially regarding the intro (with fretted chors, instead of open).
As he uses the same chords for the whole song, I thought it would be nice to make it clear.

great tab! I have only one suggestion, try playing it with a capo on the 5th fret. You can then pretty much play every chord in the first position and its way easier to strum and sing this way. Transpose it ^7 steps and you'll get the chords relative to the capo. Thanks for this tab!
