Get the rhythm off of the album :) It's approximately: E|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------- B|-----------------------------------|-------------------------------------- G|--5---X-------------------555555/7-|--5--/9----------------------55555-5-- D|--5---X---3-3----3/5--5---555555/7-|--5--/9------XX3-3---5---5---55555-5-- A|--3---X---3-3----3/5--5---333333/5-|--3--/7------XX3-3---5---5---30303-0-- E|----------1-1----1/3--3------------|--------12-XX1-1---3---3------------ Then into the C F G progression for a few bars before beginning the actual song as transcribed below by Rajarshi Gosh (raja@uts.cc.utexas.edu) ------- ~Date: 8 Jul 1994 17:43:20 -0500 Here's the first verse. As I'm transferring the stuff from the left part of my brain to the right (or is it vice versa?) it's probably a bit flawed : 4/4 | C | Dm | Em | F | G | G7 | C Dm Once upon a time you dressed so fine Em F G Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you C Dm People called you, said "Beware doll, Em F G You're bound to fall", you thought they were all kidding you F G You used to laugh about F G Everybody else that was hanging out F Em Dm C Now you don't talk so loud F Em Dm C Now you don't seem so proud Dm F G About having to be scrounging around for your next meal C F G How does it feel, C F G How does it feel C F G To be on your own C F G In no direction home C F G Like a complete unknown C F G G7 Like a rolling stone. The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have to figure that out yourself :-) -Raja. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hope this helps :) -- Greg O'Beirne gobeirne@tartarus.uwa.edu.au Back to index / h / hendrix_ji
