La Bamba

Traditional Mexican folk song from Veracruz, public domain. The popularized arrangement by Ritchie Valens (1958) introduced the rock version, but the traditional folk version used here is in the public domain. Chord placement follows the standard C-F-G folk arrangement for learning and practice.

Para bailar la Bamba, Para bailar la Bamba se necesita una poca de gracia, Una poca de gracia pa' mí pa' ti, ay arriba y arriba, Ay arriba y arriba, por ti se, por ti se, por ti se. Yo no soy marinero, Yo no soy marinero, soy capitán, soy capitán, soy capitán. Bamba, Bamba...
