Little Wing - Jimi Hendrix
Em G Well she's walkin' through the clouds
Am Em
with a circus mind that's running wild
Bm Am
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
C G F
and fairy tales (that's all she ever thinks about)
C D
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad she comes to me
with a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright she says It's alright
Take anything you want from me
anything
anything
The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
Eb E F Eb E F 
C Bb F
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C Bb F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C Bb F
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G Bb Eb E F
Footsteps dressed in red
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary
C Bb F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C Bb F
Up the broken peices of yesterday's life
C Bb F
Somewhere a queen is weeping
G Bb Eb E F
Somewhere a king has no wife
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary
LEAD F Eb Bb Ab 3x G Bb Db F
C Bb F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C Bb F
And shine the emptyness down on my bed
C Bb F
The tiny island sags downstream
G Bb Eb E F
Cause the life that lived is dead
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary
C Bb F
Will the wind ever remember
C Bb F
The names it has blown in the past
C Bb F
With its crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
G Bb Eb E F
It whispers no, this will be the last
G Bb Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary
Bold As Love - Jimi Hendrix

waters taken for granted, they quietly understand. Once happy turquoise
armies lay

opposite ready, but wonder why the fight is on.
A E F#m G A E
F#m G A E
But they're all bold as love. Yes they're all bold as love
Yeah! They're all bold

My red is so confident he flashes portraits of war, and visions of
euphoria. Orange is

young, full of daring, but very unsteady for the first go round. My yellow

so mellow, in fact I'm trying to say, it's frightened like me. And all these
emotions of mine
F#m G G6
keep pulling me from giving my love to a rainbow like you, but I'm uh...
(Chorus)
