[Intro]
D Bm A G


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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


[Outro]
D   Bm    A
