Purple Haze Chords & Tabs

Hendrix Jimi Chords & Tabs

Version: 8 Type: Tab

Purple Haze Tab

   
SONG: Purple Haze
ARTIST: Jimi Hendrix
KEY: E Major(The Sheet music book says F, but I think it has a few errors in the sheet music
             book[as in not what Jimi actually plays on my version])
     E Major:(E;F#m;G#m;A;B;C#m;D#m:E)
NOTE: Taken From the sheet music book: "Jimi Hendrix Anthology"...
      If you want to play it in the sheet music key...just tune up 1/2 step and play the same 
      frets as on this tab...ENJOY!!!
Jimi uses an E7#9 chord, and as far as I have heard since for most people it's such a complicated chord,
we'll just call it a "Jimi Chord."
TUNING: Standard(E;A;D;G;B;E)
CHORDS
E7#9: (x;7;6;7;8;7): Jimi Chord
G:    (3;5;5;4;3;3)
A:    (5;7;7;6;5;5)
