Prince: Purple Rain
Edit: Thanks to some input from user Augie9000, I have made some changes to this
tab to make it more accurate. I am using a different Eadd9 than he recommended
though, because it's more efficient with respect to the position of the other
chords on the neck, and probably more familiar to most players.
Capo 1 for the key that it's played on the album. But sounds great open.
