Hendrix: Like a rolling stone The Hendrix version played at Monterey is virtually identical to the one posted below with the exception that he starts the song by playing the chorus in power chords. 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\0-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 |
COnce upon a time you Dmdressed so fine EmThrew the bums a dime Fin your prime,G didn't you C People called you, said &qDmuot;Beware doll, You're Embound to fall",F you thought they werGe all kidding you F You used toG laugh about F Everybody else that wasG hanging out F Now you Emdon'tDm talk so Cloud F Now you Emdon'tDm seem so Cproud About Dmhaving to be scrounging aroundF for your next meGal How does it feeCl, F G How does it feeCl F G To be on your owCn F G In no direction hoCme F G Like a complete unknoCwn F G Like a rolling stoCne.F G G7
The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have to figure that out yourself :-) -Raja.
