Chords with lyrics
Like a Rolling Stone
Jimi Hendrix
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 MajorE|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------
BB|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------
G+G|--5---X-------------------555555/7-|--5--/9----------------------55555-5--
D MajorD|--5---X---3-3----3/5--5---555555/7-|--5--/9------XX3-3---5---5---55555-5--
A augmentedA|--3---X---3-3----3/5--5---333333/5-|--3--/7------XX3-3---5---5---30303-0--
E MajorE|----------1-1----1/3--3------------|--------12\0-XX1-1---3---3------------
Then into the 
C majorC 
FF G+G progression for a few bars before beginning the
actual song as transcribed below by Rajarshi Gosh ([email protected])

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 majorC | 
DmDm | 
E minorEm | FF | G+G | 
G7G7 |
C majorC DmDm
Once upon a time...
E minorEm FF G+G
C majorC DmDm
E minorEm FF G+G
FF G+G
FF G+G
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC
FF E minorEm DmDm C majorC
DmDm FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G
C majorC FF G+G G7G7
The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have
to figure that out yourself :-)

Hope this helps :)
