Jimi's Song

I was just a boy about nine years old

I heard him play guitar and it changed my world

In his early years he asked me, are you experienced

I replied insecurely, no, not yet, not yet

I played along to all his songs, practiced till my fingers bled

The sound of his music soothed my manic depression

I wonder what he would have played if he lived today

An inspiration to a whole generation

He never knew what he left behind

From vinyl reference I learned purple haze
