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
      Solo
