[Intro]
E C#m B A


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


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


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


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


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


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


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

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


[Outro]
E   C#m    B
