Up From The Skies tab by Jimi Hendrix

Tabs

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!

B9B9		F#7F#7
 I just want to talk to you.

B9B9		F#7F#7
I won't uh, do you no harm,

B9B9	    F#7F#7
 I just want to know about

B9B9		F#7F#7
your different lives,

B9B9		F#7F#7
on this here people farm.

B9B9	C9C9	   	   F#7F#7
 I heard some of you got your families,

B9B9	C9C9	   	   F#7F#7
living in cages tall & cold,

B9B9	C9C9	   	   F#7F#7
 And some just stay there and dust away,

B9B9	C9C9	   	   F#7F#7
past the age of old.

B9B9   C9C9      F#7F#7
is this true?

B9B9   C9C9      F#7F#7
Please let me talk to you.

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
I just wanna know about,

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
the rooms behind your minds,

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
Do I see a vacuum there,

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
or am I going blind?

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
Or is it just remains from vibrations

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
and echoes long ago,

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
Things like 'Love the World'

C#9C#9   D9D9       G#7G#7
and 'Let your fancy flow',

B9B9   C9C9      F#7F#7
Is this true?

B9B9   C9C9      F#7F#7
Please let me talk to you.

B9B9   C9C9      F#7F#7
Let me talk to you.

C5C5 C#5C#5
I have lived here before,

C5C5 B5B5
the days of ice,

C5C5 C#5C#5
And of course this is why

C5C5 B5B5
I'm so concerned,

C9C9 C#9C#9
And I come back to find

C9C9 B9B9
the stars misplaced

C9C9 C#9C#9
and the smell of a world

C9C9 B9B9
that has burned.

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

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

climate.

C#7C#7				 E7#9E7#9
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see.

B9B9       F#7F#7
So where do I purchase my ticket,

B9B9       F#7F#7
I would just like to have a ringside seat,

B9B9       F#7F#7

I want to know about the new Mother Earth,

B9B9       F#7F#7
 I want to hear and see everything,

B9B9       F#7F#7
 I want to hear and see everything,

B9B9       F#7F#7
 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 B9B9 to C9C9 (and likewise from C#9C#9 to D9D9) 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!
