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
