[E] Alright this is the Isley's Voice to Atlantis.
First thing, first chord is an E minor 7th played backwards.
That's what spooked everybody but I'm going to go through this.

It's [A] [Bm] [G] late [A] and stay my spirit
[Bm] please.
[A] [G]
[A] [Bm]
[F#m] [Bm] And though [G] I leave [A] another [C#] behind, [Bm]
[A] [Bm] I'll always [E] [A] love [Bm] [G] you.
[A] And then that's, you got that.
That's basic.
But it's in B minor, and when he go to burn, it's real simplistic, because if you study
a little Hendrix, you'll find out all along the Watchtower is right [D] here, because he'll
burn the same thing.
[Bm]
[D]
[Bm]
[D] [E]
[D]

our last goodbye, [B]
[G#m] and we'll make it [A] this time.
Check [Bm] it out.
[E] [Bm]
[D]
[E] [D]
[A] [E]
[Dm] [E]

I feel different.
[Bm] [A]
[G] [A] [Bm]
[A] [G] [D] All right, hey.

[A] [Bm]
[A] [G] [B]
[E] What are the, okay, so you got the E minor 7 going backwards for the intro.
But proceed, the E minor 7 is not in Hendrix all along.
No, no, I'm just saying, for the Isley brothers.
Oh, you're E [Bm] minor 7.
They roll it back.
But he got a B minor 7.
Yep.
[D] To a F sharp minor 7.
[F#m]
To an A.
[E] To the B minor [Bm] 7.
[G] To a D major.
I'm going to go ahead real quick to the G, and then [A] throw in the A again.
A, yep, [Bm] back to the B minor 7.
Then it starts over.
F [A] sharp minor 7, A, D minor 7, [G] G.
And then the bridge [Em] is, check it out, this is crazy, [B] a B major.
So we're saying, [E] then you got a G sharp [G#m] minor 7.
[B]
To a F sharp [A] minor 7.
[B] So we're saying, [A] I'll ask you about.
Okay, and then he does it [B] again, over a piece.
And we'll make it this time.
[E]
[G] And that's when he, then he starts burning after that.
Back to the G.
[A] [Bm] [A] [F#]
[G] [E] You know, it's just kind of basic.
Okay, and he's just got some phaser on.
You kick on a little Big Muff Pi to get that distortion going.
Man, this is just, I mean.
And then that's about it.
And then he uses Ernie Clever.
I told y'all the last time, Ernie [A] Clever.
You can, he rips.
[D] He just rips.
[A] And then, when he goes to the [B] A6.
Back [D]
[Bm] to the A5.
[D] Show me that accidental.
That accidental, that's the one where he drops down.
Yeah, you learned that from Carlos Santana, baby.
He's a master of it.
