Jimi Hendrix – Bold As Love (Album: Axis: Bold as Love (1967))

A       E 

  Anger, he smiles,

           F#                     D

towering in shiny metallic purple armour

      A              E

Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him

    F#                      D

Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground

D                        A                Bm

Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted,

     G

They quietly understand

D                    A                  Bm

Once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready,

                   G    G#  A

But wonder why the fight is on

            E           F#   G

But they’re all bold as love,

A               E          F#

  Yeah, they’re all bold as love

A               E          F#

  Yeah, they’re all bold as love

G            A

Just ask the axis

   A         E                        F#

My red is so confident that he flashes trophies of war,

               D

and ribbons of euphoria

A                E

Orange is young, full of daring,

F#                        D

But very unsteady for the first go round

D                 A

My yellow in this case is not so mellow

Bm                             G

In fact I’m trying to say it’s frigthened like me

D              A                               Bm

And all these emotions of mine keep holding me from,

                             G  G# A

Giving my life to a rainbow like you

[chorus]

yeah yeah yeah….
