All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix Chords

Chords: Cm, Bb, Ab

More chords by Jimi Hendrix

Genre: blues, rock, psychedelic


I am adding a little tab bit for the intro. This includes the basic rhythm

of the chord progression and a simplified extract of the lead intro. If you

play it like it's tabbed you'll look rather impressive, but it's really easy

to play. Enjoy! Note that all the chords are to be played as bar chords, or

even power chords (but that doesn't sound as good).
