[Intro]
A F#m E D


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


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


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


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


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


That means you too
A
   You say you want a leader
F#m
   But you can't seem to make up your mind
                          E
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
            F#m
help me and come on raise your hand
                     E
Purple rain, purple rain

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


[Outro]
A   F#m    E
