[Verse 1]
 
            Am      F  E7
Man, it's a hot one
                           Am         F  E7
Like seven inches from the midday sun
 
Well, I hear your whisper
        Dm7   Dm7/C   Bm7b5  E/G#
And the words melt everyone
              Am      F  E7
But you say so   cool
        Am     F  E7
My Mune-quita
                       Am   F  E7
My spanish Harlem Mona Lisa
                         Dm7        Dm7/C  Bm7b5
Well, you're my reason for  reason,
E/G#        Am        F  E7
The step in my groove
 
 
[Chorus]
 
               Am          F      E7
And if you said  this life   ain't  good enough,
            Am        F E7
I would give  my world  to lift you up
              Am       F E7                  Dm7 Dm7/C Bm7b5
I could change  my life  to better suit your mood
G7               F#7sus4   E7
Because you're so  smooth
               Am             F   E7
Well, and it's just like the ocean  under the moon
               Am             F         E7
Well, it's the same as the emotion that I get from you
    Am                 F        E7
You got the kind of lovin' that can be so smooth, yeah
Dm7 N.C.                   E7
Gimme your heart, make it real
N.C.
Or else forget about it

Well, I'll tell you one thing,
                             Am           F  E7
If you would leave it'd be a cryin' shame
                          Dm7
In every breath and every word
  DM7/C  Bm7b5      E/G#      Am     F  E7
I hear    your name callin' me   out,   yeah
                   Am      F  E7
Well, out from the barrio
                           Am    F  E7
You hear my rhythm on your radio
                                Dm7
And you feel the turning of the world,
  Dm7/C   Bm7b5     E/G#
So   soft and slow,
           Am     F E7
Turnin' you  round  and round

Great job Sammy, nice when using finger style for this one to give it more of that Spanish feel. Instead of the F#7sus4, I'm using a basic E triad shape in the F position. Basically by moving an open E chord up a semitone, and removing the barred first finger, it gives a nice droning quality when strumming the fretted and open strings together, which I think complements the change to the E7. Its only a suggestion that I find works to the way I play it, it may be different for yourself or others. Thanks for uploading the tab, regards.:)
