Like A Rolling Stone (tab) — Jimi Hendrix

Hendrix: Like a rolling stone

The Hendrix version played at Monterey is virtually identical to the one posted below with the exception that he starts the song by playing the chorus in power chords. Get the rhythm off of the album :) It`s approximately:

Then into the C F G progression for a few bars before beginning the actual song as transcribed below by Rajarshi Gosh ([email protected])

Here`s the first verse. As I`m transferring the stuff from the left part of my brain to the right (or is it vice versa?) it`s probably a bit flawed :

4/4 | C | Dm | Em | F | G | G7 |

Once upon a time you dressed so fine Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn`t you People called you, said "Beware doll, You`re bound to fall", you thought they were all kidding you You used to laugh about Everybody else that was hanging out Now you don`t talk so loud Now you don`t seem so proud About having to be scrounging around for your next meal How does it feel, How does it feel To be on your own In no direction home Like a complete unknown Like a rolling stone.

The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you`ll really have to figure that out yourself :-)
