[Verse 1]
C#                                  A#m
    I never meant to cause you any sorrow
G#                                   F#
    I never meant to cause you any pain
C#                                       A#m
    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#      A#m
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#      A#m
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
G#                                     F#
   I only wanted to be some kind of friend
C#                                     A#m
   Baby I could never steal you from another
G#                                          C# N.C.
   It's such a shame our friendship had to end

                     F#
Purple rain, purple rain
                     C#      A#m
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#      A#m
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
A#m
   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
            A#m
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
