Song: Mexican Wine
Artist: Fountains of Wayne
Tabbed by: Dominic
Notes: Out of the 3 regular version tabs available for this song (as of October 2023), the first two have a
few erroneous chords that may be correct but don't sound particularly nice when played (especially on
acoustic) and the third is a simplified version that is missing a few minor details. I figured I'd take it
upon myself to create a simplified yet accurate version of the song. Enjoy!
