Chords for Purple Rain piano lesson

_ I'm Charlie Smith and this is a piano lesson for Purple Rain by Prince.
It's in the key of Bb [E] major and [D] we use four [Bb] chords to play the song. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The first chord is _ Bbsus2. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gm] _ The second chord is Gm11.
Notice that it's the [G] same notes in the right hand as [Gm] the Bbsus2.
[F] _ The third chord is F major. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
And the fourth chord is Eb major. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Those four chords in a row make up the intro, the solo section, and the outro. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] I'm playing the chords in a quarter note rhythm to show that each chord lasts for [F] four beats,
or one bar. _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] The verse is an eight bar progression that starts with the same chords as the intro.
There's a break at the end that leads to the chorus. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] We repeat the first three chords, then hold the F [G] major for an extra two beats, leading
to the break into the chorus. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] The chorus uses the same chords as the previous two sections in a different arrangement.
At the end, we hang on the F major and break just like we did in the verse. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ The chord I changed to there was an Ebsus4. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
We hang on the F major for a total of three bars. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
There are the three different sections of Purple Rain.
