Not sure who's responsible for the bad votes, but this tab is clearly the way Jose plays it. Play along to the CD and it sounds perfect. Or alternatively watch him live and see for yourself:
I'm not really sure, and trust me I spent enough time myself getting frustrated trying to learn incorrect tabs for this song. But the video I posted above shows how Jose really plays it (i.e. this way).
Ultimately it doesn't really matter - pick whichever way you like as long you're spreading Jose's wonderful music! :)
