The Wind Cries Mary Chords & Lyrics by Jimi Hendrix
The Wind Cries Mary
guitar chords lyrics
Okay, party-people, this version of "mary" will be the truest and simplest one to
emulate and/or improvise off if your playing along with it.
Backing track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_ADyRLeGAk
Tune your guitar half a step down
like Jimi and alot of other great guitarrist do,
SRV for instance, and play in the key of F#,
NOT like the faulty wikipedia entry says that the song is in the key of F major, this is
wrong, it is in the a fingered key of F#
thus in the key of G major... idiot-o-pedia..
Intro: E F F#
Verse: C# B
F#
Bridge and chorus: Ab B
E F F#
The solo is played in the scale of D# minor pentatonic.
I dont mind playing the fifths or blue notes of this scale along with the song as in the
verse Jimi at times play:
C# C B
F#
ENJOY!
