Purple Rain

PURPLE RAIN - Prince

----------------------------------

Well the way I play it, I base it on these four chords

(and to me it sounds pretty much spot on, although maybe the squiggle himself

uses a different tuning to make a few of the shapes easier)

EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE EADGBE

X07600 244200 024100 XX0975

Aadd2 F#m7addB Eadd9 Dadd2

OK I know you're not gonna like that last D chord, but if you practise a little

you can get it.

Nearly the whole song revolves around these chords, although obviously you can

play around with some slightly different voicings to keep it interesting

(Play a normal A,F#m7 once in a while)

The only different bit goes :

E E7sus4 E A

Only want to see you crying in that purple rain

EADGBE

020200

E7sus4

Hope that helps
