Does anyone know where I can find the chords for "La Cucaracha?" I need it for my spanish class by thursday. Myself and a few others are doing a presentation on musical instruments (in Spanish). I'm going to play guitar for the class. I figured "La Cucaracha" would be appropriate. Does anyone have any other suggestions for what I can play? Thanks in advance.

If you play around with the Em (open) F (1st fret barre) and G (3rd fret barre) chords (I think I have that right), you can come up with some spanish/flamenco sounding stuff. Can help to add in an Am (open) chord too.
Something like:
Em - Em - Em (1/4 1/4 1/4)
Em - F - G (1/8 1/8 1/2)
G - F - Em (1/8 1/8 1/2)
Em - Am - Em (1/4 1/4 1/4)

I've never played the tune, but it seems to me it's just a I-V-I progression. If you're doing it in E, like the tab Evolution posted, I'd say it's E major until the end of the 6th string run 5544220, with B7 falling on the open string note. Back to E at the last note.
