Hi All,
I sussed out a song and thought I'd share. I looked all over and found plenty of incomplete Troggs and Hendrix versions and I used that as a start. This just finishes (for me at least) the job and does the Hendrix covered lyrics instead of the Troggs' proper version.
A nice 3 1/2 chord oldie. This is mostly taken from a live and tripped out performance done by Jimi Hendrix that is on one of my CDs. The lyrics are not all like the Troggs'. I guess there's only so much one can remember on LSD. :lol: :lol:

*Jimi supposedly thumbs a G-note to make it official.
All the chords are easy though. Open A,D and E chords with a half of a G chord. It's pretty much just part of a little three finger riff for the chorus. The fingering is like so:
G = (X-0-0-0-0-X)
A = (X-0-2-2-2-X)
The "riff" is sort of done very quickly, and goes one quick 1/8th note strikes each of G-A-G-A, except the A rings out for rest of the measure. Sort of a bum-ba-bum-baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa kind of thing. Maybe even a da-dum-de-daaaaaaaaaaa. Close call.
