Lyrics:

1. [C C] I never meant to cause you any [Am7 Am7] sorrow.
[G G] I never meant to cause you any [F F] pain. [F4 F4]
[C C] I only want one time see you [Am7 Am7] laughing.
I [G G] only want to see you laughing
in the purple [C C] rain.

R. Purple rain, purple [F F] rain. [F4 F4]
[F F] Purple rain, purple [C C] rain.
[Am7 Am7] Purple rain, purple [G G] rain.
I only want to see you baby
In the purple [C C] rain.

2. I never wanted to be your weekend [C C] lover. [Am7 Am7]
[G G] I only wanted to be some kind of [F F]friend, hey. [F4 F4]
[C C] Baby I could never steal you from an[Am7 Am7]other.
[G G] Such a shame our friendship has to [C C] end.

R. Purple rain, purple [F F] rain. [F4 F4]
[F F] Purple rain, purple [C C] rain.
[Am7 Am7] Purple rain, purple [G G] rain.
I only want to see you underneath
In the purple [C C] rain.

3. Honey I know, I know, I know times are [C C] changin'. [Am7 Am7]
[G G] It's time we all reach out for something [F F] new.
That means you too. [F4 F4]
[C C] You say you want a leader,
[Am7 Am7] But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close [G G] it.
And let me guide you to the purple [C C] rain.

R. Purple rain, purple [F F] rain. [F4 F4]
[F F] Purple rain, purple [C C] rain.
(Whew! If you know what I'm singin' about,
Help me and [Am7 Am7] come on raise your hand.)
[Am7 Am7] Purple rain, purple [G G] rain.
I only want to see you, I only want to see you
In the purple [C C] rain.

About this song: Purple Rain

Purple Rain is a power ballad by Prince and the The Revolution. It was recorded live at the Minneapolis club First Avenue in 1983 (with the strings overdubbed later in the studio) and was his third US single (second in UK) and title track from the 1984 album of the same name, which in turn was the soundtrack album for the 1984 film of the same name. The song is an emotional combination of rock and roll, pop and gospel music. It is widely considered Prince's signature song.
