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 want to see you crying in that purple rain EADGBE 020200 E7sus4 Hope that helps Howard H.Wright@astro.cf.ac.uk Date: Mon, 5 Apr 1993 12:59:37 +0200 From: montant yves Subject: Prince Purple Rain This is a easier version of Purple Rain, specially for accoustic players.
