Purple Rain by Prince - Guitar Chords

<< Back to Prince Song List

Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Version 4 Version 5 Version 6 Version 7 Version 8 Version 9 Version 11

            Pretty simple and straightforward. Personally I use the first version of A for the
straight chords and for the shots that are on A I use the second version. Makes it easier
that way. Enjoy :)

(capo on 1st fret)

                                           A            F#m

E                                             D
   It's time we all reach out for somethin' new

   That means you too
A
   You say you want a leader
F#m
   But you can't seem to make up your mind
                        E
   I think you better close it
                                            A
   And let me guide you to the Purple Rain


[Chorus]

                       A
   Purple Rain Purple Rain
                                    F#m
   If you know what I'm singin' about up here, come on raise your hand
                      E
   Purple Rain Purple Rain

   I only want to see you, only want to see you
                     A
