I don't see too many Santana tabs so this should help.
I would love to hear any corrections, suggestions, or praises.

Oye Como Va
by
  Santana


Okay, for those who can't figure out the lyrics to
Oye Como Va by Santana, here they are with an english
translation too!!

Oye Como VaHey How's it going
Mi ritmoMy rythm
Bueno pa gosarIt is fun to dance
DudarNo doubt

Oh I forgot to say that it is a wierd english
translation.  It is like if you tell a joke in
spanish and then tell the english translation it is
not funny.  So the way for it to make sense to those
who "No speka spanishio" it would be:

Hey how's it going
There is no doubt that my rythm is fun to dance.
