Spanish Castle Magic
Jimi Hendrix

This is probably not quite right and I'm not too sure about the chord
names either.  However, it approximates how I learned the basic parts
of this song years ago.  Hope this helps.


Notation:

  --7~-----  Vibrato
  --9/-----  Slide up
  --17\----  Slide down
  --2h4----  Hammer-on

  --6b7r6--  play fret 6, bend string to reach pitch at fret 7, then
             release to reach pitch at fret 6
