Maria Maria Tabs

(ver. 2)
Carlos Santana
"Maria Maria" by Santana 
As heard on the cd "Supernatural" 
This is my first time trying to tab out a song, so it may be a bit shaky. 
Each fill is separated by slashes or a new line. I didn't bother with the 
rhythm; you can figure it out listening to the recording.
