Biography:
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix (born Johnny Allen Hendrix; November 27, 1942 – September 18, 1970) was an American rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter. Although his mainstream career spanned only four years, he is widely regarded as one of the most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as "arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music".

Spanish Castle Magic
Written by Jimi Hendrix
The studio version of this song, like most Hendrix, was recorded a half-step down from standard tuning.
This chord tab is arranged for standard tuning.
Intro
C#5
B5
It's very far away
A#5 A5 G#5
It takes about half a day to get there
C#5
If we travel by my dragonfly
B5
No it's not in Spain
A#5 A5 G#5
But all the same, you know, it's a groovy name
C#5
And the wind's just right, hey
F#5
Hang on my darling
C#5
Hang on if you want to go
G#5
You know it's really groovy place
F#5 C#5
And it's just a little bit of Spanish castle magic
B5
The clouds are really low
A#5 A5 G#5
And they overflow with cotton candy
C#5
And battlegrounds, red and brown
B5
But it's all in your mind
A#5 A5 G#5
Don't think your time on bad things
C#5
Just float your little mind around, look out
F#5
Hang on my darling
C#5
Hang on if you want to go
G#5
It puts everything else on the shelf
F#5 C#5
Just a little bit of Spanish castle magic
Solo
C#5
F#5
Hang on my darling
C#5
Hang on if you want to go
G#5
And it's happening, oh no, damn hey
F#5 C#5
That's right baby, listen, a little bit of Spanish castle magic, hey
C#5
Little bit of Spanish castle magic, hey hey
I can't uh, sing this song, no
Yeah, okay baby, get on baby, yeah
It's all in your mind baby
Little bit of daydream here and there
