this is a good one.  I play it for my cat all the time.  Crank up the reverb
and play it clean.  Some of you might want to sing Strat Cat Strut.
could someone send this to Nevada FTP?

This is the basic progression: Cm  Bb  Ab  G7

Ok. Here's the way I remember the lyrics from a '70s pop music book:

>          D      E            A
>          Comin' down a sunny day
           Comin' down on a sunny day

           Sun is cold and rain is hard

>          I know
>          Been that way for all my time
           Been that way before my time

>          Therefore ever more it goes
           There forever on it goes

(But in reality, who listens to the lyrics that closely?)
Just pump up the volume on the guitar to drown out any
vocals...

Caveat emptor  - since this is from memory. 

I don't guarantee that these are the exact same chords that 
Hendrix played, but it should give the basic structure.

I'm using mxrn here which, on including the plain text file,
has mangled the relationship of the words to the chords (so
much for the benefits of proportional fonts!). I'll leave the entry as it is,
though, on the basis that it can still be accessed as plain text.

IMHO its a beautiful song. Have fun with it...........

Playing Guide:
--------------

The Db-Eb-E-F chords in the Db-Bb-Eb-E-F sequence can be a bit tricky 
if you finger the 2nd, 3rd, 4th strings with separate fingers. One
trick is to play this shape using just the 1st and 3rd fingers of
the left hand. This way you can get the chord onto the fingerboard
a lot quicker, although you tend to lose the notes on the top two 
strings because you can't usually bend the 3rd finger back far enough.

   The chords to Life's a Long Song aren't that hard, but actually playing
the part is.  As far as I can tell, the beginning chords are D-shaped
barre chords (fret numbers in parentheses):
 
A (VII)                              G (V)
When you've fallen awake and you     take stock of the new day.
And you hear your voice croak as you choke on what you need to say.

   Now I THINK what's happening is Ian messes around with sus chords a
lot.  I haven't tried this because I can't play this nearly fast enough,
but I think it's something like:

E|-9---9--10--9--7--9--7--9--9--9-----
B|-10---------------------------------
G|-9----------------------------------
D|-7----------------------------------
A|------------------------------------
E|------------------------------------
  
   You get the idea.  I haven't actually tried this in quite a while -
I need to go home and listen to it at half-speed on my 4-track.
Anyway, has anyone fingured out as easier way to play this, or at
least easier ways to play these chords?

       A (VII)             Asus4	   Asus2

   I don't remember what the chords to the rest of the song are, but
I remember a 3rd fret C chord, a 3rd fret G chord, and maybe a 5th
fret A chord in there.  They were pretty basic chords.  Just play around
with em.  If I come up with anything new I'll be sure to post it.

	If you take the shape of an "L" and the shape of a "7" and
	put them close together you get

			"L7" or a box-like figure which was to

I recalled some music books using sus2 chords describing them as the
"Hendrix" sound. In Little Wing and Castles made of Sand, Jimi uses  
them extensively....Fsus2 Gsus2 Bbsus2 Csus2 Asus2 etc..(same as add9 no 3rd
I think).

Anybody heard Tuck&Patti's interpretation of these 2 songs from their
Love Warrior CD ? In it you can hear how Tuck switched from Castles to
Little Wing and then back again and it sounded like 1 complete song if you 
didn't know it.

One more time -- and if you don't believe me, check the cited references:

"Wooden Ships" was written by Paul Kantner of the Jefferson airplain
*with help* from Stills and Nash.  It was performed by JA and CSN&Y,
and appears on albums produced from both groups, as well as on
the Woodstock soundtrack.

	And the Rainbow album too. Peter Townsend, Eric Clapton and 
Ron Wood ... all on guitar. It seemed to be one of the best cuts on 
the album.
