 por el suelo  hay una compadrita
 que ya nadie  se para a mirar
 por el suelo  hay una mamacita
 que se muere  de no respetar
 patchamama  te veo tan triste
 patchamama  me pongo a llorar...
 Por el suelo...
 esperando  la ultima ola
 cuidate  no te vayas a mojar
 escuchando  la ultima rola
 mamacita  te invito a bailar...
 Por el suelo...
 For those of you who enjoy going a little more into detail, these are a few tips to help
 get the proper sound...
 The difficulty of playing the song in a way to make it sound "right" lies in
 the slight strumming variations (try to underemphasize the high e- string most of the
 and the differences of how long a chord is damped.
 this is to give you a an idea of how the song is played, as mentioned hit the strings
 even though you shouldn't hit all the strings, it's still
 better to always use barree chords to get the damping right.

 go like this all the way throughout the song, also try to play the C chord on the 8th or
 fret or the Aon the 6th fret or the Dm the basic way from time to time... -> gives
 variations.
 don't follow this description too strictly, try to follow it a few times and you'll get
 feeling for the variations yourself.
 I hope this helped and you can enjoy this great song as much as i do!!!
 Have a good time playing,
