Hendrix starb nach einer kurzen, aber heftigen Karriere an einer Überdosis Schlaftabletten, gewürzt mit Rotwein. Er erbrach sich im Koma und erstickte. Bekannt und berühmt geworden ist er vor allem als Teilnehmer der Schlammschlacht in Woodstock und des legendären Festivals auf der Ostseeinsel Fehmarn.

All Along the Watchtower
. Electric Ladyland (1968)

There must be some kind of way out of here,
said the joker to the thief,
There's too much confusion,
I can't get no relief.
Businessmen they drink my wine,
plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know
   what any of it is worth

No reason to get excited,
the thief, he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

Outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Are you experienced
. Are you experienced (1967)

If you can just get your mind together
Then come on across to me
We'll hold hands and then we'll watch the sun rise
From the bottom of the sea
But first, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well, I have.

I know, I know you'll probably scream and cry
That your little world won't let you go
But who in your measly little world
Are you trying to prove that
You're made out of gold and eh can't be sold
So, are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Well I have . . .

Trumpets and violins I can hear in the distance
I think they're calling our names
Maybe now you can't hear them, but you will (ha ha)
If you just take hold of my hand
Oh, but are you experienced?
Have you ever been experienced?
Not necessarily stoned, but beautiful.

Foxy Lady
. Are you experienced (1967)

Foxy . . .!
Foxy . . .!
You know you a cute little heartbreaker.
Hah, Foxy . . .
Yeah!
And you know you a sweet little love maker.
Hah, Foxy . . .
I wanna take you home, hah, yeah.
I won't do you no harm, no.
You got to be all mine, all mine.
Ooh, Foxy Lady!
Yeah, Foxy . . .!
Foxy . . .!

Now, I see you on down on the scene.
Oh, Foxy . . .!
You make me wanna get up and scream: "Foxy . . .!"
Oh, baby, listen now.
I've made up my mind.
I'm tired of wasting all my precious time.
You gotta be all mine, all mine.
Foxy Lady . . .!

Here I come!
Foxy, Foxy, Foxy, . . .
Yeah!
I'm gonna take you home!
I won't do you no harm, no.
You gotta be all mine, all mine.
Foxy Lady . . .!

Here I come, baby
I'm comin' to get ya
Auh, Foxy lady, yeah, yeah
Oo, you look so good, Foxy!
Oh, yeah, Foxy!
Yeah, get it, Foxy!
You make me feel like, uh,
feel like sayin': "Foxy!"
Ooh, Lady . . .
Foxy Lady . ..
Foxy Lady . . .

Electric Ladyland
. Electric Ladyland (1968)

Have you ever been (have you ever been) to Electric Ladyland?
The magic carpet waits for you so don't you be late
Oh, (I wanna show you) the different emotions
(I wanna run to) the sounds and motions
Electric woman waits for you and me
So it's time we take a ride, we can cast all of your hang-ups over
the seaside
While we fly right over the love filled sea
Look up ahead, I see the loveland, soon you'll understand.

Make love, make love, make love, make love.

The angels will spread their wings, spread their wings
Good and evil lay side by side
while electric love penetrates the sky
Lord, Lord I wanna show you
Hmm, hmmm, hmmm
Show you.

Voodoo Chile

Well, I'm a voodoo chile
Lord I'm a voodoo chile

Well, the night I was born
Lord I swear the moon turned a fire red
The night I was born
I swear the moon turned a fire red
Well my poor mother cried out "Lord, the gypsy was right!"
And I seen her, fell down right dead
(Have mercy)

Well, mountain lions found me there waitin'
And set me on an eagle's back
Well, mountain lions found me there
And set me on an eagle's wing
(It's the eagle's wing, baby, what did I say?)
He took me past to the outskirts of infinity
And when he brought me back
He gave me a Venus witch's ring
Hey
And he said "Fly on, fly on"
Because I'm a voodoo chile, yeah, voodoo chile
Hey

Well, I make love to you
And Lord knows you'll feel no pain
Say, I make love to you in your sleep
And Lord knows you felt no pain
(Have mercy)
'Cause I'm a million miles away
And at the same time I'm right here in your picture frame
(Yeah! What did I say now)
'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows, I'm a voodoo chile
(Yeah!)

Well my arrows are made of desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines
Say my arrows are made of desire, desire
From far away as Jupiter's sulphur mines
(Way down by the Methane Sea, yeah)
I have a humming bird and it hums so loud
You think you were losing your mind, hmmm

Well I float in liquid gardens
And Arizona new red sand
(Yeah)
I float in liquid gardens
Way down in Arizona red sand

Well, I taste the honey from a flower named Blue
Way down in California
And the in New York drowns as we hold hands

'Cause I'm a voodoo chile
Lord knows I'm a voodoo chile
