RAINY DAY, DREAM AWAY
 
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
 
 
=46rom: justmiller@mindspring.com
 
 
This is a pretty easy song, actually, but it was hard for me to get=20
 
some of the chords right because most of them are 9ths making the roots
 
 
slightly ambiguous.  Some of the chords and stuff might not be quite=20
 
right, but they are close enough for me.  The beginning and end is=20
 
basically a D9 chord with Jimi soloing in a D pentatonic scale.  By the
 
 
way, =8CStill Raining, Still Dreaming=B9 is just the rest of this song
 
and it is also a D9 chord except for a couple variations.  Make sure to
 
 
bust out the WAH for this one!
 
 
ALSO:
 
 
 NOTE THAT THIS SONG IS IN STANDARD =8CE=B9 TUNING, NOT =8CEb=B9

Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening
