Ok well this is a farely simple question and i could probably have found it somewhere. but oh well. My question is how do you get chords our of the progression. Like if i said key of A play I, IV, and V which is twelve bar blues. How do you know the chords?

from the scale.
I, IV, V in A is..
I = tonic (first) = A major
IV = subdominant = (fourth) = D major
V = dominant (fifth) = E major
scale is
A B C# D E F# G# A
so the III is C#.. follow?

In a 12-bar blues that V is often a 7 chord, so an E7 in Alex's example. Here's a good lesson on the 12-bar blues:
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.
-- John Lennon
