"The Burning of the Midnight Lamp"
		        Jimi Hendrix

Transcribed by James Holland

This is just the intro to the song off of Electric Ladyland.It's played with a wah-wah and a harpsichord. Don't pay attention to the bars and I didn't make an attempt of timing so you'll have to listen to the record to get it, but it's pretty easy anyway. Enjoy:

Well, that's it. I think somebody posted the chords, so the whole song should be in here.
