I've got an Evil Urge....

[wolof]

....to play El Caporel on guitar. Any attempts? Ideas of the main chords? If so I can prob take it from there (I am atonal).

Well, I guess better late than never.  I'm not sure if somebody posted this already.  It seems like the only chords used are G, C, D, and Em.  But then again, I'm terrible at figuring these things out.

G

           C       D                  G
If you really wanted me to know
                     C              D                 G
Then you've sure got a funny way of showin'
            C        D
El Caporal
            G
El Caporal
            C
El Caporal
           D                        G
You're money's no good here
                 C       D                        G
Well if you really don't want me to know
                 C                D               G         Em
Then you sure gotst a silly way of showin'
            C       D
El Caporal
            G       Em
El Caporal
            C
El Caporal
      D                     G
My dogs lie in your dumpster
G
Slide through your life
C                     D
Straight like a knife
G
Sway when you dance
         C                   D
Play a game in your pants
       G
It's all new you see
           C          D
The believin' in things
 C               D                 G
Believin' in things that I do
                C                   D                    G
Have we played all the chords we can finger?
                C                 D           G
Have we made all the musical shapes?
            C                  D                    G   Em
I just hope that my kisses love will linger
                C              D                    G
On your sweet, confused captain's face.
G                                                      C                D
When the things you say just aren't making any sense
               G                                     C            D
And the wars you wage are mostly killin' innocents
G                         Em                C                   D
When I want to say, all that's good has gone away
                  G   C        G
You tell me no, it isn't so.
                C       D                  G
But if you really wanted me to know
                 C             D                 G        Em
Then you sure got a funny way of showin'

            C     D      
El Caporal
            G     Em
El Caporal
             C
El Caporal
        D               G
Your love lasted forever
Your love lasted forever

Starting at ~28 seconds it is:
*
E       0    0    0
B          1    1    1  1s3

then
E       3     3      
B          3      3
G                     2  2s4

then repeat *.

And that's all I can pick out.
