I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

La Bamba
Traditional Mexican, according to Rise Up Singing. I was surprised to learn that.
Rise Up Singing chapter: Creativity, p.22
(NO idea why it's in the Creativity chapter, by the way.)
Chords: G C D - :// 9x
Para bailar la bamba
Para bailar la bamba
Se necesita una poca de gracia
Una poca de gracia y otra cosita
Y arriba, y arriba, y arriba iré
Por ti seré, por ti seré
Bamba, bamba (3x)
Yo no soy marinero
Soy capitan, soy capitan, soy capitan
Bamba, bamba...
