I have tabbed what I think Santana has played as
accurately as possible for reference. Sometimes its best,
I think, not to try to reproduce exactly what you hear
or read,it can get way too complex.
Notes: Many notes sound like they are on the verge of producing
a harmonic, especially those held or vibratoed. This can be
achieved be standing close to your amp to get semi-feedback,
facing the amp playing the harmonicing note,
using a pinch technique or playing a natural harmonic.
In certain places I have ignored conventional scales and
tabbed the notes in places higher up the fretboard
for speed and ease of playing technique such as where bends
become easy higher up the board and have more space to be bent.
If you feel that I need correcting then mail me .
h - hammer on
p - pull off
b - bend string up
r - release bend
/ - slide up
- slide down
v - vibrato more v's=more vib
t - right hand tap
x - play 'note' with heavy damping

This harmonic is probably pinched or develops on the amp
but I can't always do it. You can always do a 7th fret G
string natural harmonic if you want to get the cool sound.

Vocal Enters:
Verse1 Don't take her for granted, she had a hard time
Don't missunderstand her, or play with her mind
Treat her so gently, it will pay you in time
You gotta know; she's The Sensitive Kind
Verse2 Tell her you Love her, each and every Night
And you will discover, she will treat you right
If you believe, I know you'll find
There ain't nothing like the Sensitive Kind

(2:26) Verse3 She gets so lonely
Waiting for you, you are the only thing
To help her through, don't take her for granted
She has a hard time, you gotta know,
She's The Sensitive Kind
You've got to know; She's The Sensitive Kind
You've got to know; She's The Sensitive Kind!
