G Em
Honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing
D C
And it's time we all reach out for something new that means you, too
G Em
And you say you want a leader, but you can't seem to make up your mind
D G
I think you better close it, let me guide you to the purple rain …
[Chorus]:
C
Purple rain, purple rain
G
Oh, purple rain, purple rain
D
Oh, purple rain, purple rain
G
I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain
