El dia que me quieras with chords
The introduction and the verses are not played in the same way.
So we will look at introduction and main part with each verse.
Introduction of the music
To play the introduction, you will need to know and master a few chords. They are quite a lot, and you will have to know more for the main part.
So I advise you to work on them for a while before you start.

Remember that the chords are written above the lyrics so that you can play them at the right time. Therefore, it’s better to play while singing. Chords that are to the right of a phrase (not above a word) are played between the two phrases.

El dia que me quieras lyrics
The tango El dia que me quieras by Diego El Cigala and Luis Miguel is composed of one introduction and a main part with two verses.
The structure of the lyrics is simple:
Introduction – Main part
Introduction
Acaricia mi ensueño
El suave murmullo
De tu suspirar
Como ríe la vida
Si tus ojos negros
Me quieren mirar
Y si es mío el amparo
De tu risa leve
Que es como un cantar
Ella aquieta mi herida
Todo, todo se olvida
Main Part
El día que me quieras
La rosa que engalana
Se vestirá de fiesta
Con su mejor color
Y al viento las campanas
Dirán que ya eres mía
Y locas las fontanas
Se contarán su amor
La noche que me quieras
Desde el azul del cielo
Las estrellas celosas
Nos mirarán pasar
Y un rayo misterioso
Hará nido en tu pelo
Luciernagas curiosas que verán
Que eres mi consuelo
