HEY JOE 
JIMI Hendrix   


First tune all your strings down a half-step.  Then...

     h p     
E|-0-0-0--------------|-----------------|-------------------|-
B|-3/5\3--------------|-----------------|-------------------|-
G|-------4p2p0--------|-----------------|-------------------|-5
D|-------------2----2-|--4/5-5---5---4--2|-----0-----0---0--|-5
A|------------------2-|--4/5-5---5---4--2|-0h2---0h2---2----|-3
E|---------------0--0-|-0------0---0----0|------------------|-0
               ^
               Let ring


After the intro it just goes into this progression:

C  G  D  Am E5 E5  (Em7 or what ever, you can alter it)

If you play along with the song you'll get the timing down.  The "h" and "p"
are for "h"amer on and "p"ull off.


Then there's that run played in octaves on bass and guitar.
The Bass tab looks exactly the same as the guitar tab (ignoring B and E 
strings !)
