Song Title: Purple People

By: Tori Amos

 

Intro - Bbm

 

A#m D#m/F# F

Well, hey do you do judo when they surround you

A little mental yoga will they disappear?

It's grim but never dubious as motives go

one thing she always promise promise is a show

 

D#m7/C# F#/G# G# C#

Thunder wishes it could be the snow

Adim7 A#m D#m F

Wishes it could be as loved as she can be

A#m F# D#m F# G#

These gifts are here, for her , for you, for me..

 

A#m D#m/F# F

I watch me be this other thing I never know

if i'm marooned or where the purple people go

the lily white matricide from vicious words

it doesn't leave a scratch so therefore, no one's hurt

 

G# G#7 C# A#m

And on and on, the nurses make it clear

D#m F# D#m G#

just when you escape, you have yourself to fear

G# G#7 C# A#m

a restaurant that never has to close

F# F D#m F

breakfast at every hour, it could save the world...

 

A#m D#m/F# F

SO hey do you do judo in your finery

An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
