Song

VIENTO DEL ARENA

Capo on 5th fret. (Lyrics are a guess.)

Note: The chords in Viento Del Arena are from Flamenco. Therefore I

have not named them as such. Instead, I have referred to them as Riffs,

each to be played when cued by the lyrics. Also, to save space the word

Riff has been shortened to and R. Don't forget that the '/' symbol

represents a beat. Below then are the 6 riffs the song uses.
