Prince - Purple Rain Acoustic Chords & Tabs

Purple Rain (acoustic)
By: Prince
Tabbed by: Kristie Steele
Tuning: Standard

Pretty simple and straight forward. Personally I use the first version of A for the 
straight chords and for the shots that are on A I use the second version. Makes it easier 
that way. Enjoy :)
