[Intro]
C Am G F


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


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


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


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


[Verse 3]
                                       C      Am
Honey I know I know I know times are changin'
G                                              F
   It's time we all reach out for somethin' new


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


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

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


[Outro]
C   Am    G
