[Ebm] [B]
[G] [Eb]
[Ab]
[Gb]
This is Little Wing, probably my [Abm] most favorite Hendrix track.
[Ebm] It shows [Ab] the [Bb] increasing [Bbm] range of Hendrix's [A] ability to [E] compose a beautiful ballad
[Gb] [B] that will probably [Gb] last for [B] generations to come.
I mean, [F] [B] in the year 3000, [Db] I think, we'll still be listening to Little Wing.
[Eb]
[Bb] [Gb]
This is actually [Ab] take two.
[Abm] It's a raw [Ab] version of the [Eb] song.
Then [Ab] Chaz says, now, Jimmy, you've got to turn it [Bbm] down.
You've got to make it a little bit mellower than that.
But nevertheless, [Abm] still a fantastic performance.
Jimmy would [Db] come up with a song.
We would sit there and discuss it, what was needed to dump from the song
or expand on the song to make it commercially viable.
Jimmy [F] accepted it, rewrote it around that.
It worked.
This is a [B] live from the floor.
This is the three of them just playing as if [Abm] this were a live concert performance.
It's [Ab] obviously Jimmy just stretching out and [Bbm] feeling his way,
feeling his oats with the song because it's only the second take.
It's [B] raw in your face.
[Gbm] It's bleeding, this one.
[B] This is really just [E] heavy.
[B]
[Db] It's just to establish the ground rules, I think.
[Gb] I think the [E] shape of the song is [F] here,
but [Abm] I think the delicacy which comes as [G] a result of him having got [Ab] this out of his system
and Chaz making the suggestion, look, we've got to tone it [Db] down, lads.
[Abm]
[Db] It still is nevertheless a [Gbm] powerful, powerful [N] description of where his head was at.
If I said that was too long, you would accept it.
You were quite prepared to [Em] accept my word because I was sitting outside of it.
[Eb]
[Ebm] She comes [Gb] to me with [Abm] a thousand [Ebm] smiles.
She comes to me.
[Eb] It's [Bbm] all right, she [A] said, it's [Ab] all right.
[B] Take [Gb] anything you want from me.
[B]
[Db] The
[Ebm] bass, the drums, and the glockenspiel all mixed together.
You [B]
[Gbm] [B]
[Abm] don't really [B] notice the fact [E] that there's a counter [F] melody there,
but when [Ebm] you hear it mixed [Bbm] in, it's the perfect thing.
