Tabbed by:Brendan Simard

Tuning:E flat(doesn't really matter)
 
version in question: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-4NuPDpvgc
 
note: the guitar hendrix actually uses isn't an acoustic in the recoding
like the youtube video title says and there's proof of this in the sound
and when he changes the pickup in the middle of the song immediately before
that little solo

[tab] From the 1968 A.D. Part Two Album with Just Jimi and his guitar no band Tab at bottom of page Intro F# E B D F# C# G# Angel came down from heaven yesterday B E F# She stayed with me just long enough for afternoon tea F# C# G# And she told me a story yesterday, B E F# E about the love between the moon, and the deep blue sea B D F# And when it was time for her to go, she spread her wings high over me G#m A#m B then she said "I shall return tomorrow" B--------------- And I said E F#m "fly on my sweet angel, B# B D D# E fly on through the sky, E F#m fly on my sweet angel, B# B D D# E tomorrow I'll be by your side" B# B D D# E E G D D# E A B A B C# F# C# G# And sure enough. this morning comes to me B E F# with Silver wings silhouetted against the glow of the child sunrise F# C# G# and as the bluebirds and sparrows envy me B E F# E She says "I love you litte boy, and today you shall fly" B D F# She kissed me once and the feeling so good she made me cry G#m A#m B and now we can fly together And I said E F#m "fly on my sweet angel, B# B D D# E fly on through the sky, E F#m fly on my sweet angel, B# B D D# E Forever I'll be by your side" B# B D D# E Listen to the recording for timing.
