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 ..

EADGBE
020200

E7sus4


Hope that helps

This is a easier version of Purple Rain, specially for accoustic players.
You can have a more ellaborate and closer to the original, just tell me.
