The song is (technically) in F#-minor but you can also play F#-major if you like. It doesn't sound bad and I
personally like it more, even if I play along to the recording. The F#m A F#m E theme gets played a little bit
differently from time to time, don't let it confuse you, it's Hendrix, he never plays things the same way 
twice. Just play it normally and the A as a barre chord, it sounds better if you just
slide the E and A chord shape across the fretboard. Also, you don't have to play a B7, it isn't even in the
song, I just think it fits... Enjoy!


B*=play it with the E-shape on the seventh fret here
