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
Start wearing purple for me [E/E7]now
All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, I promise
It's just a matter of [Am]time
I know you since you were a-[Am]twenty, I was twenty,
and thought that some years from [E/E7]now
a purple little little lady would be perfect
for dirty old and useless [Am]clown.
