Purple Haze

Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don't seem the same
Actin' funny, but I don't know why
'Scuse me while I kiss the sky

Purple haze all around
Don't know if I'm comin' or goin'
Am I happy or in misery?
What ever it it, that girl put a spell on me

Help me
Help me
Oh, no, no

Ooo, ahh
Ooo, ahh
Ooo, ahh
Ooo, ahh, YEAH!

Purple haze all in my eyes, uhh
Don't know if its day or night
You got me blowin', blowin' my mind
Is it tomorrow, or just the end of time?

|Ooo
|Help me
|Ahh, yea-yeah
|Oh, no, oh
|Oh, help me
Purple haze|Tell me, baby, tell me
|I can't go on like this
Purple haze|You're makin' me blow my mind... mama
Purple haze|n-no, nooo
Purple haze|No, its painful, baby

May This Be Love (aka Waterfall) [Image]
From The Album "Are You Experienced?" (© 1967, 1993)
Words and Music By : Jimi Hendrix

Waterfall
nothing can harm me at all
My worries seem so very small
with my waterfall

I can see
my rainbow calling me
through the misty breeze
of my waterfall

Some people say
day-dreamings for all the, huh,
lazy minded fools
with nothin' else to do
So let them laugh, laugh at me
So just as long as I have you
to see me through
I have nothing to lose
'Long as I have you

Waterfall
don't ever change your ways
Fall with me for a million days
Oh, my waterfall

Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
Will I live tomorrow?
Well, I just can't say
But I know for sure
I don't live today

No sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
No-ho sun comin' through my windows
Feel like I'm livin' at the bottom of a grave
I wish you'd hurry up and execute me
so I can be on my miserable way

(Well), I don't
live today
Maybe tomorrow, I just can't say, but, uh
I don't
live today
Its such a shame to waste your time away like this

Wind Cries Mary

After all the jacks are in the boxes 
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Fooprints dressed in red
And the wind whispers Mary

A broom is dreaily sweeping 
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind it cries Mary

The traffic lights
Turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island stays downstream
Cause the life that lived is
Is dead

Will the wind ever rememeber 
The names it has flown in the past
And with this crutch
It's old age
And it's wisdom
It whispers
No this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary



Fire

Alright, now dig this, baby

You don't care for me
I don't a-care about that
Got a new fool, ha
I'd like to laugh at
I have only one burning desire,
Let me stand next to your fire

Hey (BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Let me stand next to your fire
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Whoa, let me stand, baby
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Let me stand
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Yeah, baby

Listen here, baby
And stop actin' so crazy

You say your mom ain't home,
It ain't my concern
Just a-play with me
And you won't get burned
I have only one itchin' desire,
Let me stand next to your fire

Msssst, yeah (BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Let me stand, baby
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Let me stand
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Oh, let me stand
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)

Ow!
Ahh, move over, Rover
And let Jimi take over
Yeah, you know what I'm talk (in') about
Yeah, get on with it, baby
Ow
Yeah

That's what I am talkin' about
Now dig this
Ha!
Now listen, baby

You try to give me your money,
You better save it, babe
Save it for your rainy day
I have only one burnin' desire,
Let me stand next to your fire, ha

Ow (BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Uh, let me stand
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
Oh, let me stand, baby
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)
I ain't gonna do you now harm
(BV- Let me stand next to your fire)

Yeah
You better move over, baby
I ain't gonna hurt ya baby
Ah, I ain't talk (in') with your ol' lady

Third Stone From the Sun [Image]
From The Album "Are You Experienced?" (© 1967, 1993)
Words and Music By : Jimi Hendrix

{intro slowwed down talking begins}
Star fleet to scout ship, please give your position. Over.
I'm in orbit around the third planet from the star called
the sun. Over.
You mean its the Earth? Over.
Positive. It is known to have some form of intelligent species. Over.
I think we should take a look.
{intro slowwed down talking ends}

Strange beautiful grass of green,
with your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?

{start slowwed down}
Strange beautiful, grass of green
with your majestic silver seas
Your mysterious mountains I wish to see closer
May I land my kinky machine?
{end slowwed down}

Although your world wonders me,
with your majestic and superior cackling hen
Your people I do not understand,
so to you I shall put an end
And you'll
never hear
surf music again

{start slowwed down...rough guess at lyrics}
Secret
Oh, secret
Oh
Shhhh...
{end slowwed down}

Are You Experienced? [Image]
From The Album "Are You Experienced?" (© 1967, 1993)
Words and Music By : Jimi Hendrix

If you can just get your mind together
uh-then come on across to me
We'll hold hands and then we'll
watch the sunrise
from the bottom of the sea
But first, are you experienced?
Uh-have you ever been experienced-uh?
Well, I have

(Well) I know, I know, you'll probably scream and cry
that your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world, (-uh)
are you tryin' to prove to that you're
made out of gold and-uh, can't be sold
So-uh, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced? (-uh)
Well, I have
Uh, let me prove it to you,
yeah

Trumpets and violins I can-uh, hear in the distance
I think they're callin' our name
Maybe now you can't hear them,
but you will, ha-ha, if you just
take hold of my hand
Ohhh, but are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?

Not necessarily stoned, but
beautiful

Voodoo Chile
by Jimi Hendrix
from the album Electric Ladyland


I'm a Voodoo child,
Lord, I'm a Voodoo child.
Well, the night I was born,
Lord I swear a moon turned a fire red.

The night I was born,
I swear moon turned a fire red.
Well my poor mother cried out 'Lord the gypsy was right',
and I see'd her fell right down dead.

Well, mountain lions found me there waiting,
and set me on a, a eagle's back.
Well, mountain lions found me there,
and set me on a eagle's wing

It's the eagle's wing baby
What I say!
Well, ah, he took me past the outskirst of infinity
And when he brought me back he gave me Venus witch's ring

Hey!
And he said fly on, fly on
'Cause I'm a Voodoo Chile baby
Voodoo chile

Hey

Yeah

Well I make love to you,
and Lord knows you feel no pain, Yeah!
Say I make love to you in your sleep,
and Lord knows you felt no pain.

Have mercy baby
'Cause I'm a million miles away,
and at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame
Yeah!

Wha'd I say now!
'Cause I'm a Voodoo chile,
Lord knows I'm a Voodoo chile.
Yeah!

Well my arrows made of desire,
from far away is Jupiter's sulphur mines.
Say my arrows made of desire, desire,
from far away is Jupiter's sulphur mines.

Way down by the Methane sea,
heh heh,
I have a hummin' bird that'll hum so loud,
you'd think you were a-losing your mind.

Hmm.

Well I float in liquid gardens,
and Arizona new red sand, Yeah!
I float in liquid gardens,
Way down Arizona new red sand.

Well I'll taste the honey from a flower named blue,
way down in California and New York drowns as we held hands.
Yeah!
Hey!

'Cause I'm a Voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a Voodoo chile
Yeah!
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
