SPANISH ADDITION:
At the end of the Suite Stephen Stills sings the following Spanish lines:
Que linda me la traiga Cuba,
la reina de la Mar Caribe.
Cielo sol no tiene sangreahi,
y que triste que no puedo vaya,
Oh va, oh va, va.
Loosely translated that is:
How happy it makes me to think of Cuba,
the smiles of the Caribbean Sea,
Sunny sky has no blood, and how sad that
I'm not able to go
Oh go, oh go go
(Thanks David L'Heureux).
Stills said in the liner notes on the Box Set: "The little kicker at the end about
Cuba was just to liven it up because it had gone on forever and I didn't want it
to just fall apart. I said, 'Now that we've sung all these lyrics about one thing,
let's change the subject entirely.' And we did. Even did it in a different language
just to make sure that nobody could understand it".
NOTES:
B(no3)* means alternate between B(no3) and B6(no3) like a blues rhythm
pattern E(no5) can substitute E(no3) since they are so similar. Asus2 can be
played with all the strings barred at the 5th fret for a fuller sound.
I also like to play all the 12th string harmonics each time after he says
"I am yours".
(from Crosby, Stills and Nash, 1969)
