[Intro]
B G#m F# E


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


[Chorus]
                     E
Purple rain, purple rain
                     B      G#m
Purple rain, purple rain
                     F#
Purple rain, purple rain
                                             B N.C.
I only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain


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


[Chorus]
                     E
Purple rain, purple rain
                     B      G#m
Purple rain, purple rain
                     F#
Purple rain, purple rain
                                             B N.C.
I only want to see you underneath the purple rain


[Verse 3]
                                       B      G#m
Honey I know I know I know times are changin'
F#                                              E
   It's time we all reach out for somethin' new


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


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

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