[Intro - BPM 129 - E Riff with drums snare on each beat] x16
[Verse - Drums straight now - no Hendrix chords whilst playing]
[E] I was born long ago
[E] I am the chosen, I'm the one
[E] I have come to save the day
[E] And I won't leave until I'm done
[G] So, that's why you've got to try
[G] You got to breath and have some fun
[Riff at end - 33x22x11x22x33x - Play double snares on each fretted not SSxSSxSSxSSxSS)]
[E] Though I'm not paid, I play this game
[E] And I won't stop until I'm done
[Chorus]
[G(xxx430)] But what I [A(x0x220)] really want to know is (E D and G riff - see notes)
[E] [D] [E] Are you gonna go my way? [E] [E] [G] [E]

[Verse - no Hendrix chords whilst playing]
[E] I don't know why we always cry
[E] This we must leave and get undone
[E] We must engage and rearrange
[E] And turn this planet back to one
[G] So, tell me why we got to die
[G] And kill each other one by one
[E] We've got to hurt and rub a dub
[E] We've got to dance and be in love
[Chorus]
[G(xxx430)] But what I [A(x0x220)] really want to know is (E D and G riff - see notes)
[E] [D] [E] Are you gonna go my way?
