Chords plus words for 1st verse + chorus. Date: 21 Aug 92 16:57:42 GMT Caveat emptor - since this is from memory. I don't guarantee that these are the exact same chords that Hendrix played, but it should give the basic structure. I'm using mxrn here which, on including the plain text file, has mangled the relationship of the words to the chords (so much for the benefits of proportional fonts!). I'll leave the entry as it is, though, on the basis that it can still be accessed as plain text. IMHO its a beautiful song. Have fun with it...........

One trick is to play this shape using just the 1st and 3rd fingers of the left hand. This way you can get the chord onto the fingerboard a lot quicker, although you tend to lose the notes on the top two strings because you can't usually bend the 3rd finger back far enough.

Fly on my sweet Angel Fly on though the sky Fly on my sweet Angel Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side. Sure enough this woman came home to me Silver wings silhouetted against a child's sunrise And my Angel she said unto me Today is the day for you to rise. Take my hand You're gonna be my man You're gonna rise Then she took me high over yonder And I said.. Fly on my sweet Angel Fly on through the sky Fly on my sweet Angel Forever I'm gonna be by your side.
