Verses and Choruses:

Use these shapes for A minorAm and E. You can try to add a flat 7th to the E MajorE for emphasis.
  A minorAm E MajorE  E7E7 E7E7
e|-5-|-4-|-4-|-4-|
BB|-5-|-5-|-5-|-3-|
G+G|-5-|-4-|-4-|-4-|
D MajorD|---|---|-0-|-2-|
A augmentedA|---|---|---|---|
E MajorE|---|---|---|---|

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:

A minorAm
Start wearing purple, wearing purple
              E/E7
Start wearing purple for me now

All your sanity and wits, they will all vanish, I promise
           A minorAm
It's just a matter of time
              A minorAm
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
             A minorAm
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 augmentedA harmonic/natural minor and E MajorE phrygian, phrygian dominant, or Arabic.
Key: A augmentedA minor
Tempo: 97 bpm
