Jimi Hendrix - Are You Experienced guitar tab
Are You Experienced? By Jimi Hendrix
transcribed by Maxxdaddy
I suppose one way to emulate the reverse guitar in this song would be
to use a reverse echo effect or slapback on a delay pedal. Anyway, I think it sounds just fine as is.

Lyrics:
A/C# Gsus
If you can just get your mind together
A5
uh-then come on across to me
A/C#
We'll hold hands and then we'll
Gsus
watch the sunrise
A5
from the bottom of the sea
But first, are you experienced?
F
Uh-have you ever been experienced-uh?
A5
Well, I have
(Well) I know, I know, you'll probably scream and cry
that your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world, (-uh)
are you tryin' to prove to that you're
made out of gold and-uh, can't be sold
So-uh, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have
Uh, let me prove it to you,
(solo)
yeah
Trumpets and violins I can-uh, hear in the distance
I think they're callin' our name
Maybe now you can't hear them,
but you will, ha-ha, if you just
take hold of my hand
Ohhh, but are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Not necessarily stoned, but
beautiful
