Verses and Choruses:
Use these shapes for Am and E. You can try to add a flat 7th to the E for emphasis.
Am E E7 E7
e|-5-|-4-|-4-|-4-|
B|-5-|-5-|-5-|-3-|
G|-5-|-4-|-4-|-4-|
D|---|---|-0-|-2-|
A|---|---|---|---|
E|---|---|---|---|
The chords follow a reggae style rhythm, like:
1 e & a 2 e & a 3 e & a 4 e & a
------Am-Am-------Am-Am-------Am-Am-------Am-Am
And the chord pattern:
Am
Start wearing purple, wearing purple
E/E7
Start wearing purple for me now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, I promise
Am
It's just a matter of time
Am
I know you since you were a-twenty, I was twenty,
E/E7
and thought that some years from now
a purple little little lady would be perfect
Am
for dirty old and useless clown.
--------------------------------------------
So that's more or less the entire song. If you want to solo(?), you can get
away with A harmonic/natural minor and E phrygian, phrygian dominant, or Arabic.
Key: A minor
Tempo: 97 bpm
