_ _ [G] _ _ As time went [C] on, _ [Dm] there were less and less prepared for the studio.
By the time we got to Electric [F] Ladyland, there weren't [D] as prepared.
By halfway through Electric Ladyland, _ [A] numbers that we'd worked on had run out.
And this track [C] was created, _ [D] _
_ [C] I think, the [Gb] way Jimmy conceived of it [A] was,
look, I want to [B] jam, but [Dm] I know the guys, I know the guys I want to play this. _
And fortunately [D] for us at the record [F] plant, we're on 44th and [Dm] 8th,
the scene's two blocks up 8th Avenue, _ and Jimmy goes into the scene one night,
and wouldn't you know it, [D] Steve Winwood's there, Jack Cassidy's there,
and [Db] Jimmy's listening, he's like, yeah, I think I [D] can get these guys to play this track.
Because he really had a preconceived notion of what he wanted.
He knew, once again, [Fm] Jimmy's vision was very [D] clear, _
I want this jam, but it's got to be done a very specific way.
_ So much in the studios was done with either [Ab] just Jimmy and [Dm] myself,
or Jimmy and myself and [A] we bring in some other people.
_ If Jimmy could have picked a band to have, this would have been a [Eb] band to have,
because he loved Steve Winwood, and he often [D] said,
jeez, I'd love to have Steve Winwood in my band.
And here he is playing, I mean, [Db] Steve's organ playing is absolutely _ [D] sensational. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ I mean, he is so much in the head of Jimi Hendrix,
in the sense that those two guys complimented each other,
when they play _ off of each other, it's just a magnificent thing.
[Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Db] _ [Dm] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
That's a conversation of two musical giants, _ [Ab] _ complimenting each other,
just getting off on each other's playing, and it's [Dm] wonderful to hear.
The thing was, we were spending so much time in the studio _ _ then,
which was really Jimmy's kind of spiritual home. _
I mean, I always liked _ the studios,
because I came up as a bit of a [D] studio brat anyway.
Hendrix was jamming too much, which I didn't like.
_ I used to tell him that.
And either people like that atmosphere or they don't,
and Noel really didn't.
It was more the question of get in there, do a couple of takes, _
go to the pub.
We were very fortunate that [C] we were able to get Jack [D] Cassidy,
because Jack _ has got this [C] different vibe [D] and a different feel
than Noel or Billy Cox or [C] any of the other bass players that Jimmy [D] worked with.
_ Very unique style, and just [F] drove the track.
[D] It was amazing, and he's very compatible with Mitch.
[G] _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ A day or so later, [Fm] Chaz [Db] does Buddha Child's Flight Return.
Now, it's the complete opposite of this, but they're wonderful.
They compliment each other.
They're like bookends.

_ _ Flight Return [Ebm] is, [A] you know, structured in the way Chaz does it,
but this is the loose, open _ _ _ feel that Jimmy loves. _
