Castles Made Of Sand


---------------------------------------------------------------- JIMI HENDRIX - CASTLES MADE OF SAND. From AXIS: BOLD AS LOVE album. Released in the UK 1st December 1967. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by:PJVillanueva I had chosen some time ago not to tab this song because of its backwards tape guitar solo, but a recent request made me change my mind and decided I'd do what I could simply to please that request and because I've always thought that Jimy was an awful player and so many of us owe him so much. His guitar all along the track is simply great. But I coudn't just forget about the solo, so I tabbed it as can be heard on the record. So there it is finally in case you want to give it a look. I just thought that the tab should rather have it than not. Down the street you can hear her scream you're a disgrace As she slams the door in his drunken face And now he stands outside And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool He cries oh, girl you must be mad What happened to the sweet love you and me had? Against the door he leans and starts a scene, And his tears fall and burn the garden green And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually A little indian brave who before he was ten Played wargames in the woods with his indian friends And he built up a dream that when he grew up He would be a fearless warrior indian chief Many moons passed and more the dream grew stronger till Tomorrow he would sing his first warsong and fight his first battle But something went wrong, surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown 'cause she was crippled for life And she couldn't speak a sound And she wished and prayed she could stop living, So she decided to die She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore And to her legs she smiled you wont hurt me no more But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say Look a golden winged ship is passing my way And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going ... And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually STANDARD TUNING INTRO (. e|---3-/ 5----5-/-8-----8-/10---10-\-8----8-\-5----5-\-3----3-/-5---3----|
