Jimi Hendrix - Astro Man
Probably tune down 1/2 step, not that it really matters that much
It starts out with this riff, actually played on a bass, but I play it on guitar anyway
e(b)|------------------------------------------------------|
B(b)|------------------------------------------------------|
G(b)|------------------------------------------------------|
D(b)|------------------------------------------------------|
A(b)|-----------------0-0-0-3-2------------------0-0-0-2-3-|
E(b)|-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0------------0-0-0-0-0-0-0-0-----------|
The riff is played under these lyrics
Here I come to save the day
There was a little boy in a dream just the other day
His mind fell out of his face and the wind blew it away
Then a hand came down from heaven and slapped a badge on his chest
It said "Get out there, man, and do your best!"
Then it's a couple of verses, shown here with the chords
E
And they called him Astro Man
E A
And he's flying higher than
A E B
That old faggot Superman
B E
Forever cool
They called him Cosmic Nut
And he's twice as famous as Donald Duck
And he's out to screw you up
The rest of your life
Enjoy!
