Artist		Jimi Hendrix
Track		Up From the Skies
Album		Axis Bold As Love

Guitar is tuned down half a tone ie E=Eb  A=Ab  D=Db ect

Yep, get your wah wah pedal out, spark up and let it flow! This is a really atypical Hendrix tune, but is 
one of my favourites. And it's quite simple too!

C5  C#5
I have lived here before,

C5  B5
the days of ice,

C5  C#5
And of course this is why

C5  B5
I'm so concerned,

C9  C#9
And I come back to find

C9  B9
the stars misplaced

C9  C#9
and the smell of a world

C9  B9
that has burned.

(Solo)
The smell of a world that has burned.

Well, maybee, maybe it's just a change of

climate.

C#7 (x4342x@1)		 E7#9
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see.

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7So (242352@1)where do I purchase my ticket,

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7I (242352@1)would just like to have a ringside seat,

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7 (242352@1)I want to know about the new Mother Earth,

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7 (242352@1)I want to hear and see everything,

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7 (242352@1)I want to hear and see everything,

B9 (x2122x@1)           F#7 (242352@1)I want to hear and see everything.
 Aw, shucks,
 If my daddy could see me now.

Generally speaking Jimi rocks his pedal at a constant pace, like you would if you were tapping your foot 
with the music. The actual rhythm ebbs and flows and changes in a real jazzy way, so you'll need to listen 
the track. The chord change from B9 to C9 (and likewise from C#9 to D9) in particular changes in form and timing and is sometimes even omitted. So basically as with all tunes by improvisationally inspired artists 
best just to do your own thing!
