Artist: Richie Valens
Song: La Bamba
Tabbed by: Nick Chavez of yomamasrus@yahoo.com

This tab is only the intro so, the rest of the song is not here.  Maybe someone else has the whole song, but all of the intros are whack. This is a version that I feel is pretty close to the song.  So use this intro and then use a different chord tab.  So without further obdue, here it is.

That's all there is to it!  There is more but it's a little 
complicated.  All you need is this intro to impress your friends and you'll be in business in no time. 

 I was looking threw the other tabs and they wern't playing it rigth.
this is how it goes:

E----------------------------------------------------------------
B----------------------------------------------------------------
G-------------2-0---------------------------2-0------------------
D--------0-2-3--------0-2-3-3-2-0-3---0-2-3----------------------
A---0-2-3-----------3---------------3----------------------------
E-3--------------------------------------------------------------

then it goes like this:
E-0---1---3----------------
B-1---3---3----------------
G-0---3---5----------------
D-2---2---4----------------
A-3---1---3----------------
E-0---1---3----------------
