Song Title: Purple People
By: Tori Amos
Intro - Bbm
                       Bbm  Ebm/           Gb  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
  Ebm7/    Db  Gb/  Ab     Ab  Db  
Thunder wishes it could be the snow
  Adim7                        Bbm      Ebm  F  
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gBbmifts are hGbere, for hEbmer , for yGbou, for Abme..
                 Bbm  Ebm/              Gb  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
And oAbn and oAb7n, the nursDbes make it Bbmclear
jusEbmt when you eGbscape, you Ebmhave yourself Abto fear
a reAbstaurant thAb7at never Dbhas to clBbmose
breaGbkfast at every Fhour, it couEbmld save the worlFd...
              Bbm  Ebm/        Gb  F  
SO hey do you do judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly
