It's a mixture between 3 or 4 different tabs. I personally didn't think either one of them didn't sound correct individually so I added extra to things to each and added other chords. I think it sounds better with added things.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Capo: no capo

We have an official Tenerife Sea tab made by UG professional guitarists.
Check out the tab
Tabbed by: Kendahl Skodack (whackedout101)
 
Personal note: I personally noticed that all the tabs up for this song were quite good,
but were missing some things individually so I decided to make one that mixed all of them
together to make a version that sounded a little bit better to my own ear and I thought I'd
share it, so I'd like to give "credit" where credit is due.
 
I got most of the ideas from:
TZips chords
Jalen Chin tabs
Ace tabs
And a couple of others that I can't find right now.
 
Again, most of these seemed accurate but seem to be missing specific parts of the song and they were
missing some important aspects of the song.
