======
 B7:x21202
 B7/F#:2x1202 : B7 with the major finger is on the E string
                Read "B7 with a bass of F#"
 A:00X9109

 E/G#:40x454 play the E and use the the thumb for the first string.

If the A is too difficult to play, just  play the classic one (A:002220).


Riffs on the Chords:
====================

   B7                    A                      E       E/G#
e|----0-2---2-2-|      |---9--9----9--9--|    |----4-4----4-4-|
B|----0-0---0-0-|      |---10-10---10-10-|    |----5-5----5-5-|
G|----2-2---2-2-|      |---9--9----9--9--|    |----4-4----4-4-|
D|--------------|      |-----------------|    |---------------|
A|-2------------|      |-0---------------|    |---------------|
E|--------2-----|      |---------0-------|    |-0-------4-----|


For the second "E E" of the introduction, the Riff is slightly different :

   E                E     
e|----4-4----4-4------4-4------4---4-|
B|----5-5-----5-------5-5--------5---|
G|----4-4-------4-----4-4----4-------|
D|-----------------------------------|
A|-----------------------------------|
E|-0-------4--------0-----4----------|

This kind of arpeggio is also used on the A riff.

Sometimes, there are some arpeggio like this :
e|-----x-x---|
B|-----x-x---|
G|---x---x---|
D|-----------|
A|-----------|
E|-x---------|


Also, at the end of each verse she plays 1 and a half riff on the A :

   A                        E       E/G#  E
e|---9--9----9--9-----9--9----4-4----4-4---4-4----4-4--|
B|---10-10---10-10----10-10---5-5----5-5---5-5----5-5--|
G|---9--9----9--9-----9--9----4-4----4-4---4-4----4-4--|
D|-----------------------------------------------------|
A|-0----------------0----------------------------------|
E|---------0----------------0-------4----0------4------|

Verse:
-----
    E        E/G#   E     E/G#       
Hoy vuelvo a la frontera
     B7              A
Otra vez he de atravesar
      A          E     E/G#
Es el viento que me manda
         B7            E   
Que me empuja a la frontera
E/G#  B7         E  
Y que borra el camino
E/G#   A           A E    E/G# E 
Que  detrás desapa-rece
E/G#   A           A E    E/G# E E/G#
Que  detrás desapa-rece

Verse:
-----
Me arrastro bajo el cielo
Y las nubes del invierno
Es el viento que las manda
Y no hay nadie que las pare
A veces combate despiadado
A veces baile y a veces…nada
A veces baile y a veces…nada

Verse:
-----
Hoy cruzo la frontera
Bajo el cielo
Bajo el cielo
Es el viento que me manda
Bajo el cielo de acero
Soy el punto negro que anda
A las orillas de la suerte
A las orillas de la suerte
