Up From The Skies

B9  F#7 
 I just want to talk to you. 
B9  F#7 
I won‘t uh, do you no harm, 
B9         F#7 
 I just want to know about 
 
B9  F#7 
your different lives, 
 
B9  F#7 
on this here people farm. 
B9 C9             F#7 
 I heard some of you got your families, 
B9 C9             F#7 
living in cages tall & cold, 
B9 C9             F#7 
 And some just stay there and dust away, 
B9 C9             F#7 
past the age of old. 
 
B9      C9            F#7 
is this true? 
B9      C9            F#7 
Please let me talk to you. 
 
C#9      D9              G#7 
I just wanna know about, 
C#9      D9              G#7 
the rooms behind your minds, 
C#9      D9              G#7 
Do I see a vacuum there, 
C#9      D9              G#7 
or am I going blind? 
C#9      D9              G#7 
Or is it just remains from vibrations 
C#9      D9              G#7 
and echoes long ago, 
C#9      D9              G#7 
Things like ‘Love the World‘ 
C#9      D9              G#7 
and ‘Let your fancy flow‘, 
 
B9      C9            F#7 
Is this true? 
B9      C9            F#7 
Please let me talk to you. 
B9      C9            F#7 
Let me talk to you. 
 
C5  C#5 
I have lived here before, 
C5  B5 
the days of ice, 
C5  C#5 
And of course this is why 
C5  B5 
I‘m so concerned, 
C9  C#9 
And I come back to find 
C9  B9 
the stars misplaced 
C9  C#9 
and the smell of a world 
C9  B9 
that has burned. 
 
(Solo) 
The smell of a world that has burned. 
Well, maybee, maybe it‘s just a change of 
climate. 
C#7     E7#9 
I can dig it, I can dig it baby, I just want to see. 
B9             F#7 
So where do I purchase my ticket, 
B9             F#7 
I would just like to have a ringside seat, 
B9             F#7 
I want to know about the new Mother Earth, 
B9             F#7 
I want to hear and see everything, 
B9             F#7 
I want to hear and see everything, 
B9             F#7 
I want to hear and see everything. 
Aw, shucks, 
If my daddy could see me now. 
 
Generally speaking Jimi rocks his pedal at a constant pace, 
like you would if you were tapping your foot with the music. 
The actual rhythm ebbs and flows and changes in a real jazzy 
way, so you‘ll need to listen the track. The chord change 
from B9 to C9 (and likewise from C#9 to D9) in particular 
changes in form and timing and is sometimes even omitted. 
So basically as with all tunes by improvisationally inspired 
artists best just to do your own thing!
