F                                  Dm
    I never meant to cause you any sorrow
C                                   A#
    I never meant to cause you any pain
F                                       Dm
    I only want one time to see you laughing
  C                                           F N.C.
I only want to see you laughing in the purple rain


[Chorus]

Purple rain, purple rain
                     F      Dm
Purple rain, purple rain
                     C
Purple rain, purple rain
                                             F N.C.
I only want to see you bathing in the Purple Rain


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


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


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


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


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

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


[Outro]
F   Dm    C
