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...........

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. --- Jimi Hendrix\ Angel This is how you really play it the one posted is wrong. Sorry about the different tabing this is how I have it written ( G \ \ \ means strum that chord 4 times one for each \ and one for the letter ) Intro F#9 \ \ \ E6/9sus4 \ \ \ F#9 \ B9 \ E6/9 \ \ \ E6/9 \ \ \ Verse F# \ C#\ G#m \ \ \ B \ E \ F# \ C# \ G#m \ \ \ B \ E \ F# \ \ \ E B \ D \ F# \ \ \ G#m \ A#m \ B \ \ \ B \ \ \ Chorus E \ \ \ F#m \ \ \ C A D D# E \ \ \ E \ \ \ F#m \ \ \ C A D D# E \ \ \ C A D D# Back to intro repeat song All chords barred F#9 = 006422 E6/9 = 044200 B9 = 000977 F# = 244322 C# = 046660 G#m = 466444 B = 024440 D = 079990 D# = 0881010100
