E MajorE BB
He materialized at the edge of my street
G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
In a big beater car that never missed a beat
E MajorE BB
I guess you could say that's when it all began
G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
He seduced me on my way home from marching band

It was 1991

E MajorE BB
God only knows we didn't know we did
G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
You bet we played that card 'cause we were just kids
E MajorE BB G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
Re-educated while working on our tans
F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
He controlled us with the touch of his purple hand
F# minorF#m
We were falling one by one

It was the summer of the purple man
C# minorC#m BB
Suddenly the universe was out of whack
A augmentedA E MajorE
And once you go there, you can't come back
C# minorC#m BB
And daddy looked like he was gonna have a heart attack
A augmentedA E MajorE
Clenched his fist and he said
A augmentedA E MajorE
"When I get my hands on that mother fucker
A augmentedA BB
Gonna put his purple nads in the ground and weigh the fucker *
* (Please comment if you know what he says in this line.)
A augmentedA BB
I'll tear him limb from limb on a torture rack"
E MajorE BB
The afternoons were spent in nap
G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
The nights for sitting on his lap
E MajorE BB G# minorG#m A augmentedA BB
Feeding him purple beans out of a can
F# minorF#m BB C# minorC#m
Everything going according to his plan
F# minorF#m
It was the last time I had fun, yeah

It was the summer of the purple man
BRIDGE (same as before but play only once not twice)
C# minorC#m BB
Spilling our seeds into the serpent's garden
A augmentedA E MajorE
Our young love muscles began to harden
C# minorC#m BB
And that's when mother coughed and begged our pardon
A augmentedA E MajorE
Cleared her throat and she said
A augmentedA E MajorE
"You're such a good little boy and you always wanna please us
A augmentedA BB
Surely we can fix this with a little more Jesus
A augmentedA BB
And pray and pray that purple gay away"
E MajorE BB
Hey Nancy boys this ones for you
G# minorG#m A augmentedA
And the big pink bubble from the gum you chew
E MajorE BB G# minorG#m A augmentedA
It's such a hoot watching what you've turned into
E MajorE BB
As the days fly pass
G# minorG#m A augmentedA
We'll stand aghast, trapping you at a social impasse
E MajorE BB
Run out the door just as fast as you can
G# minorG#m A augmentedA N/C
And try to go back to the summer of the purple man
