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.
 
 --------------------------------------------

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
