            Purple Rain

Fsus4                                  Gm
    I never meant to cause you any sorrow
F                                  D#sus2
    I never meant to cause you any pain
Fsus4                                     Gm
 I only wanted to one time see you laughing
      F                                           Fsus4
    I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

[CHORUS]
                         D#sus2                   Fsus4
    Purple rain purple rain      Purple rain purple rain
Gm                      F
   Purple rain purple rain
                                                  Fsus4
   I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
                                       Fsus4       Gm
   I never wanted to be your weekend lover
F                                       D#sus2
   I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Fsus4                                   Gm
 Baby I could never steal you from another
       F                                  Fsus4
   It’s such a shame our friendship had to end
                         D#sus2                     Fsus4
[Chorus]
  Purple rain purple rain      Purple rain purple rain
Gm                    F
   Purple rain purple rain
                                                Fsus4
   I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain
                                             Fsus4   Gm
   Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changin'
F                                          D#sus2
   It's time we all reach out for something new (that means you too)
Fsus4                       Gm
You say you want a leader,   but you can't seem to make up your mind
                  F                                                Fsus4
And I think you better close it and let me guide you to the purple rain

[Chorus]
                         D#sus2                   Fsus4
    Purple rain purple rain      Purple rain purple rain
Gm                             F
   Purple rain purple rain
F                                                        Fsus4
   I only want to see you, only want to see you in the purple rain

Fsus4        Dsus2        Csus2                  

Use all bar chords Fsus4 and F on the 1st fret, D#sus2  6th fret, Gm 3rd fret, Dsus2 5th fret, Csus2 2nd 
fret
Once on the Dsus4 you can slide your way back up to the Fsus4 
playing Dsus2 and Csus2 in a progression for filler.
