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 |
CDm Once upon a time you dressed so fine EmFG Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you CDm People called you, said "Beware doll, EmFG You're bound to fall", you thought they were all kidding you FG You used to laugh about FG Everybody else that was hanging out FEmDmC Now you don't talk so loud FEmDmC Now you don't seem so proud DmFG About having to be scrounging around for your next meal CFG How does it feel, CFG How does it feel CFG To be on your own CFG In no direction home CFG Like a complete unknown CFGG7 Like a rolling stone.
The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have to figure that out yourself :-)
