Caveat emptor  - since this is from memory.

I don't guarantee that these are the exact same chords that
Hendrix played, but it should give the basic structure.

I'm using mxrn here which, on including the plain text file,
has mangled the relationship of the words to the chords (so
much for the benefits of proportional fonts!). I'll leave the entry as it is,
though, on the basis that it can still be accessed as plain text.

IMHO its a beautiful song. Have fun with it...........

Nick

Playing Guide:
--------------

The Db-Eb-E-F chords in the Db-Bb-Eb-E-F sequence can be a bit tricky
if you finger the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings with separate fingers. One
trick is to play this shape using just the 1st and 3rd fingers of
the left hand. This way you can get the chord onto the fingerboard
a lot quicker, although you tend to lose the notes on the top two
strings because you can't usually bend the 3rd finger back far enough.
