Hey Joe Tabs

(ver. 3)
Hendrix Jimi
Some happy fellow requested this, and I feel like giving something 
 back, so here it is..
 
 
 There's another, chromatic, turnaround later on but I can't tab it 
 accurately right now, can't remember it, but it's in the bass and 
 follows the verse chords.
 
 Solo's in E (!'s a whole-step bend)

[...]

This is 'my Version' of the solo from Hey Joe...

   Lyrics:

   Hey Joe. Where you goin' with that gun in your hand.
   Said, Hey Joe. Where you goin' with that gun in your hand.
   I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
   you know I caugth her messin' round with another man.
   I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady,
   you know I caught her messin' round with another man.
   (Ain't that too cool.)

   Hey Joe. I heard you shot your woman down,
   you shot her down now.
   Hey Joe. I heard you shot your old woman down,
   you shot her down in the ground.
   Yes I did, I shot her,
   you know I caught her messin' round with another man.
   Oh yes I did i shot her,
   you know I caught my old lady messin round town.
   (And I gave her the gun - I shot her !).
