Chords for How to play Hey Joe, Jimi Hendrix

_ _ _ _ How you doing?
I'm going to do a tutorial on Hey Joe by Jimi Hendrix. _
This is an old Stratocaster and I have no Marshall Stax behind me,
so I've got a bit of a revised version that I play on the acoustic guitar.
_ _ So I try to keep some of the _ lead lines and some of the fun [G#] stuff in it
and give [A] it a good groove that you can follow on one guitar.
So I'm going to play a little bit in the first verse
and I'll come back and break it down [G] a little bit.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ [G] Hey Joe, _ _
[D] _ _ I see [A] where you're going
[G] With [B] that gun in your [E] hand
[D] _ _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [G] Hey Joe, _
[D] _ _ I [A] see where you're going
[G] With [E] that gun in your hand _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[C] _ I'm [G] going down to shoot my old lady
[D] _ You [G] know I [A] caught her messing around [Em] with [E] another man
[Em] _ _ I'm [E] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[C] _ _ [G] going down to shoot my old lady
[D] _ You [G] know I [A] caught her [E] messing around, messing around town _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] And then it goes around and around.
That's it.
I mean, that's it.
So let's go through the intro and then I'll show you the chords.
So what we're doing here is basically we're playing two strings.
We're playing the G and the B and the E string.
_ [G] And I'm only fretting the B string, so if you can see that clear enough.
_ And I'm doing it on the third fret, so I'm going to go third, fifth. _ _ _ _
So, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a bit of a hammer on.
_ _ _ So it's a hammer on the fifth, _ back to the third.
[Bm] And then you go on your G string with this finger and you go _ [A] _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ slide down.
[Bm] G string, fourth [G] fret to second fret, open.
_ And then [Em] the D string on the second [Gm] fret.
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
And then you hit an open E string while you're getting into your chord.
_ _ _ _ And then the high end of the E string, just like the high three strings.
_ And then you're going [F#m] to keep that E formation.
You're going to go, you don't need this finger, so you're only going to hit these three strings.
And you're going to go on the fourth fret.
It's almost like an E minor chord.
But it doesn't matter because _ _ you're only playing the fifth.
And it's fourth, fifth fret.
[Em] _ _ _ [F#] _ [Em] _ _ _
So [F#] it's _ _ [Em] slide up, low E, _ _ low E, [F#] _ _
[E] _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ [F#] _ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ low E, high again. _
And then, [A] _ [B] _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ so you're hitting the A string on the second fret, _ [B] _ opening it up to the D.
_ [D] _ _ _ _
And that's it.
So the whole [G] thing is. _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ [F#m] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ [D] _ _
_ And then the chords are [C] C, _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ G, _
_ _ [D] _ _ D, so [G] where you [Am] going?
To [Em] an A, I play my A [A] as a bar.
And I put this little, _ _ just _ _ _ a hammer on on the third fret on the G string.
_ _ Going [E] in your hand.
And the same riff comes [D] again.
_ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[C] So that's a little bit [A] different.
It's a [B] _ hammer on the second [D] fret of the A string. _ _
_ [C] _ So.
_ [G] Hey Joe, _ _ [D] _ _ _ I said [A] where you going _ [Em] with that [E] gun in your hand?
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ [G] Hey Joe.
Same, it [C] just goes over and over and rolls around and that's about it.
I put a little bit of a seventh chord in there occasionally. _
So, [G] hey [D] Joe, _ _ _
_ [A] heard you [B] shot your woman [E] down.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ Or [E] even, heard you shot your woman down. _ _
[Em] _ _ _ This chord is kind of neat.
Jimi Hendrix uses it a lot.
It's an old blues chord.
It's like an E7 something, I don't know.
Anyways, so you've got your open E.
So on the key of E, [Am] it's on the seventh.
You're going to [A#m] start on the [E] seventh fret with your _ _ second finger. _
_ These are the notes basically right here.
You can see them quicker than I can [G] explain them to [E] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ So it's kind of like a D7 chord up here with this extra finger. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Alright.
Forget that.
Do this. _ _ _
_ So _ _ _ _ that's it.
So [C] that would be in.
So, _ _ [G]
hey Joe, _ [D] _ _ _
[A] I heard you shot [Em] your lady down. _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] _ _ That's the whole thing.
