Well, this song is impossible to tab out correctly – it’s all improvisation, on
TWO guitars – but I thought I’d give you a few things to start with.

The basic pattern of the song is a Dm / F / Gm6 / Gm / A layout.
Don’t strum the chords, you get the best sound when you pluck three
or four strings together.

   Dm    F     Gm6  Gm   A
E|--1----1------3---3---0--| _
B|--3----1------5---3---2--| \
G|--2----2------3---3---2--| |---> B,G and D plucked give the best sound.
D|--0----3------5---5---2--| _/
A|-------3------5---5---0--|
E|-------------------------|

I’ve tabbed out a couple of the fills used throughout the song. Applied on the
basic pattern, you get this (quite accurate) version:

   Dm       F            Gm6 Gm A         Dm etc...
E|--1-------------1-----------------------1---|
B|--3--3----1-------1---1-5-3--2----------3---|
G|--2-------2---------2---3-3--2--2-0-----2---|
D|--0-0-----3---3---------5-5--2------3-2-0---|
A|------------3-------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------------------|
              \_________/         \_______/
               “up fill”         “down fill”

Vary by using the high e string a bit more, skipping a few notes in the fill or
plucking a chord a few times instead. Which could look like this:

   Dm       F            Gm6 Gm A        Dm etc...
E|--1-------1-----1----------------------1----|
B|--3-------1---------1---5-3--2-2--2-2--3----|
G|--2-------2-------------3-3--2-2--2-2--2----|
D|------0--------3--------5-5--2-2--2-2-------|
A|------------3-------------------0-----------|
E|--------------------------------------------|

You get the point :) Now besides at the top of the neck there are some other
places you can play around with the basic pattern. The e and B strings around the
10th fret are very suitable:

   Dm                  F                 Gm6                    A
E|------10-10-10/12-10-8~~-(8)--10-8-----------------12-10-----------|
B|-(10)-10-10-10-------10~-(10)-----(10)-11--11--11-------(11)-10~~--|
G|--------------------------------------(10)(10)(10)-----------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------------(10)(10)(10)-----------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------------|


To get back up the neck use this: (the same as the “down fill”)

            Dm  F  Gm6 Gm A
E|-------------------0-------|
B|-10-8-6-5-3~--1~-----3-----|
G|-----------------------2---|
D|---------------------------|
A|---------------------------|
E|---------------------------|

You can do the same on the G and D strings around the 7th fret.
Start with  G|-7-7-7/9-| and you’ll work the rest out easily...
D|-7-7-7---|
Get back up the neck with  D|--7-5-3-2-0~----2-0----|
A|-------------3~-----3--|
After a while a trumpet enters to complete the Cuban atmosphere.
You can keep doing the basic pattern, but here’s a small part of the trumpet solo
to get you going on that one too.

E|--5~-------5~------6~-----------|
B|-----6-5-3----6-5-3---6-5-3-----|
G|----------------------------3~--|
D|--------------------------------|
A|--------------------------------|
E|--------------------------------|


And then the most difficult part: the solo. Kevin Futhey tabbed this one out
already and I think it’s very accurate.

E|-10--10~--8-10--8~---10-8---------------------------------8~-|
B|-10--10~--------10~-------11---------10~----------10-11-12---|
G|-----------------------------9-10-12------9-10-12------------|
D|-------------------------------------------------------------|
A|-------------------------------------------------------------|
E|-------------------------------------------------------------|

E|----------------------10-10-10-10-10/12-10-8--8~--10-8--------8------|
B|-6p5---8-8--| Outline-|10-10-10-10----------10-10~------11-8-11-11-10-|
G|-----7------|---| A----|-----------------------------------------------|
D|------------|-Chor| d--|-----------------------------------------------|
A|---------------------------------------------------------------------|
E|---------------------------------------------------------------------|

E|--------------6-7-8/10-8\6----------------------------|
B|--------6-8/10-------------10-8-6----8----------------|
G|-7-7-7-9-------------------------9-7--10-9-7----------|
D|---------------------------------------------10-8-7~--|
A|------------------------------------------------------|
E|------------------------------------------------------|


Now back to the Dm / F / Gm6 / Gm / A scheme, and end on Dm.

That’s it!
