It took me a minute or two to figure out how to type the inverted exclamation point at the beginning of ¡Que Vida! (Alt 173 if you're interested). This means 'What a Life!' in Spanish. I have loved this song since I first heard it lo those many years ago, probably in 1987 or so. It is a fun tune to play on the guitar, that cool little picked intro is pretty straightforward. The middle section is trickier, but not too hard. That little finger pop at 0:07 is great, a lovely idea, as well as the sleigh bells at the end. Lyrically, this is another esoteric Arthur Lee composition, and sung so sweetly. 'With nickels and dimes, you soon will have a dollar.' Sweet!
