Reading Spanish Tabs

[letsgobuffalo]

Hi guys,
I used to post a bunch on here probably about 2 years back, but moved away and have been out of the loop. I have a question. I'm living in Spain and lov e spanish music. Anyway, I've been lucky to have a few friends give me tabs in what is to me 'normal' format, ie E, Am, F etc. However, alot of the tabs for instance are written another way, how they learn the chords over here. for example, the Chiclana tab by Los Delinquentes

sol# dom do#
Como pescado y no me pinchan las espinas,
sol# dom do#
abro las latas con las uñas de los pies,
sol# dom do#
soy como un gato que planea en paracaidas,
sol# do# si sib sol#
bebo en un cubo y no me mancho de cafe eh eh eh

what would that 'translate' to in the normal system that I am used to. I know nothing about music theory, so that doesn't help. Just wondering if anyone has a site that could explain that.

Gracias a tos, hasta luego

A - La
B - Si
C - Dó
D - Ré
E - Mi
F - Fá
G - Sol

the additional "m" "b" "#" are the usual minor, flat and sharp, respectively.

Your tab is thus:

G# Cm C#
Como pescado y no me pinchan las espinas,
G# Cm C#
abro las latas con las uñas de los pies,
G# Cm C#
soy como un gato que planea en paracaidas,
G# C# B Bb G#
bebo en un cubo y no me mancho de cafe eh eh eh

Those lyrics are hilarious... "I open cans with my feet nails"?!
