The Hendrix version played at Monterey is virtually identical to the one
posted below with the exception that he starts the song by playing the
chorus in power chords. Get the rhythm off of the album :) It's
approximately:
E|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------
B|-----------------------------------|--------------------------------------
G|--5---X-------------------555555/7-|--5--/9----------------------55555-5--
D|--5---X---3-3----3/5--5---555555/7-|--5--/9------XX3-3---5---5---55555-5--
A|--3---X---3-3----3/5--5---333333/5-|--3--/7------XX3-3---5---5---30303-0--
E|----------1-1----1/3--3------------|--------12\0-XX1-1---3---3------------
Then into the C F G progression for a few bars before beginning the
actual song as transcribed below by Rajarshi Gosh (raja@uts.cc.utexas.edu)

Here's the first verse. As I'm transferring the stuff from the left part of
my brain to the right (or is it vice versa?) it's probably a bit flawed :
/ DO REm MIm FA SOL SOL7
DO REm
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
MIm FA SOL
Threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you
DO REm
People called you, said "Beware doll,
MIm FA SOL
You're bound to fall", you thought they were all kidding you
FA SOL
You used to laugh about
FA SOL
Everybody else that was hanging out
FA MIm REm DO
Now you don't talk so loud
FA MIm REm DO
Now you don't seem so proud
REm FA SOL
About having to be scrounging around for your next meal
DO FA SOL
How does it feel,
DO FA SOL
How does it feel
DO FA SOL
To be on your own
DO FA SOL
In no direction home
DO FA SOL
Like a complete unknown
DO FA SOL SOL7
Like a rolling stone.
The chord positions try to capture the phrasing, but you'll really have
to figure that out yourself :-)
