Lyrics:
1. [C] I never meant to cause you any [Am7] sorrow.
[G] I never meant to cause you any [F] pain. [F4]
[C] I only want one time see you [Am7] laughing.
I [G] only want to see you laughing
in the purple [C] rain.
R. Purple rain, purple [F] rain. [F4]
[F] Purple rain, purple [C] rain.
[Am7] Purple rain, purple [G] rain.
I only want to see you baby
In the purple [C] rain.
2. I never wanted to be your weekend [C] lover. [Am7]
[G] I only wanted to be some kind of [F]friend, hey. [F4]
[C] Baby I could never steal you from an[Am7]other.
[G] Such a shame our friendship has to [C] end.
R. Purple rain, purple [F] rain. [F4]
[F] Purple rain, purple [C] rain.
[Am7] Purple rain, purple [G] rain.
I only want to see you underneath
In the purple [C] rain.
3. Honey I know, I know, I know times are [C] changin'. [Am7]
[G] It's time we all reach out for something [F] new.
That means you too. [F4]
[C] You say you want a leader,
[Am7] But you can't seem to make up your mind.
I think you better close [G] it.
And let me guide you to the purple [C] rain.
R. Purple rain, purple [F] rain. [F4]
[F] Purple rain, purple [C] rain.
(Whew! If you know what I'm singin' about,
Help me and [Am7] come on raise your hand.)
[Am7] Purple rain, purple [G] rain.
I only want to see you, I only want to see you
In the purple [C] rain.
