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.

When they are ready and mastered, you can follow along and play along by looking at the tab :

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.
