Raspberry Beret chords by Prince

"Raspberry Beret" by Prince from Around the World in a Day

Intro: | A G | D/F# | G | D G A |


   A      G     D/F#
I was working part time in a five-and-dime,
  G          D G A
My boss was Mr. McGee.
          G       D/F#
He told me several times that he didn’t like my kind,
    G            D G A
’Cause I was a bit 2 leisurely.
         G     D/F#
Seems that I was busy doing something close 2 nothing,
  G                D G A
But different than the day before.
       G    D/F#
That’s when I saw her, ooh, I saw her
      G
She walked in through the out door (out door).

[Chorus]:

      A  G      D/F#
She wore a Raspberry beret
  G         D  G  A
The kind U find in a second hand store
  G      D/F#
Raspberry beret
  G                D  A
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
  G      D/F#
Raspberry beret
     E  A
I think I love her

A       G          D/F#
Built like she was, uh, she had the nerve 2 ask me
   G             D G A
If I planned 2 do her any harm
                   G        D/F#
So, look here, I put her on the back of my bike and-a we went riding
G                D G A
Down by old man Johnson’s farm
           G     D/F#
I said now, overcast days never turned me on
  G                     D G A
But something about the clouds and her mixed
      G      D/F#
She wasn’t 2 bright but I could tell
        G
When she kissed me

She knew how 2 get her kicks


[Chorus]:

      A  G      D/F#
She wore a Raspberry beret
  G         D  G  A
The kind U find in a second hand store
  G      D/F#
Raspberry beret
  G                D  A
And if it was warm she wouldn’t wear much more
  G      D/F#
Raspberry beret
     E  A
I think I love her


D    A/C#      D    A/C#
The rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof,
NC
And the horses wonder who U are.
D    A/C#        D       A/C#
Thunder drowns out what the lightning sees
 NC
U feel like a movie star
    G    F#m      E
Listen, they say the first time ain’t the greatest
        NC
But I tell ya, if I had the chance 2 do it all again
 G                F#m
I wouldn’t change a stroke ’cause baby I’m the most,
    E
With a girl as fine as she was then.
