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

 Intro:  [solo in D pentatonic]


D9

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

Hey man, it's raining

It's rainin' outside man

Aw, don't worry about that

Everything's gonna be everything

We'll get into somethin' real nice you know

Sit back and groove on a rainy day

Yeah

Yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove.

 Little linking phrase:  [Time - 2:09]
