[Intro]
A# Gm F D#


[Verse 1]
A#                                  Gm
    I never meant to cause you any sorrow
F                                   D#
    I never meant to cause you any pain
A#                                       Gm
    I only want one time to see you laughing
  F                                           A# N.C.
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain


[Chorus]
                     D#
Purple rain, purple rain
                     A#      Gm
Purple rain, purple rain
                     F
Purple rain, purple rain
                                             A# N.C.
I only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain


[Verse 2]
                                   A#      Gm
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
F                                     D#
   I only wanted to be some kind of friend
A#                                     Gm
   Baby I could never steal you from another
F                                          A# N.C.
   It's such a shame our friendship had to end


[Chorus]
                     D#
Purple rain, purple rain
                     A#      Gm
Purple rain, purple rain
                     F
Purple rain, purple rain
                                             A# N.C.
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain


[Verse 3]
                                       A#      Gm
Honey I know I know I know times are changin'
F                                              D#
   It's time we all reach out for somethin' new


That means you too
A#
   You say you want a leader
Gm
   But you can't seem to make up your mind
                          F
I think you better close it
                                       A# N.C.
and let me guide you to the purple rain


[Chorus]
                     D#
Purple rain, purple rain
                    A#
Purple rain, purple rain (Whew)
 
if you know what I'm singin' about
            Gm
help me and come on raise your hand
                     F
Purple rain, purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you
                  A# N.C.
In the purple rain


[Outro]
A#   Gm    F
