RAINY DAY, DREAM AWAY
The Jimi Hendrix Experience
=46rom: [email protected]
This is a pretty easy song, actually, but it was hard for me to get=20
some of the chords right because most of them are 9ths making the roots
slightly ambiguous. Some of the chords and stuff might not be quite=20
right, but they are close enough for me. The beginning and end is=20
basically a chord with Jimi soloing in a pentatonic scale. By the
way, =8CStill Raining, Still Dreaming= is just the rest of this song
and it is also a chord except for a couple variations. Make sure to
bust out the WAH for this one!
ALSO:
NOTE THAT THIS SONG IS IN STANDARD =8CE= TUNING, NOT =8CEb=

Intro: [solo in [D] pentatonic]
Hey man, take a look out the window and see what's happening
Hey man, it's raining
It's rainin' outside man
Aw, don't worry about that
Everything's gonna be everything
We'll get into somethin' real nice you know
Sit back and groove on a rainy day
Yeah
Yeah I see what you mean brother, lay back and groove.
Little linking phrase: [Time - 2:09]

Rainy day, dream away
Let the sun take a holiday
=46lowers bathe and see the children play
Lay back and groove on a rainy day.
=46#9
Well I can see a bunch of wet creatures, look at them on the run
The carnival traffic noise it sings the tune splashing up and
=469
Even the ducks can groove rain bathing in the park side pool
And I'm leanin' out my window sill digging everything
Transition part: [Play the riffs in between using=20
blues scale and plenty of Wah!]

Ending: [Once again, solo in [D] pentatonic]
Rainy day, rain all day
Ain't no use in gettin' uptight
Just let it groove its own way
Let it drain your worries away yeah
Lay back and groove on a rainy day hey
Lay back and dream on a rainy day
