                                                              Verse
                                                              The verse for this song is basically made up of the following chords: C, Bb and F. That combination is played
                                                              the times, then we go to the G and Bb before finishing up with the inversion show above on the 10th fret.
                                                              The real magic comes from what we do when we get to those chords as Hendrix had various embelishments that
                                                              he would use to really make the chords shine. For example, the tab below shows what he would play in place
                                                              of the Bb occasionally;

         When we get down to that resting F, try the inversion from the end of the first stave before starting again
         from the C.
