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]

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official JIMI HENDRIX tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
