As recorded by Elton John (1968 recording from the 2021 Album REGIMENTAL SGT. ZIPPO) [Intro] Am G Am G [Verse 1]
Am                    G       D
See my eyes and I see my arms

                 Am
The seagulls say you've gone

F                              C
It was just a game of let's pretend

Bb                   C                  F
And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears
[Chorus]
               Dm
Purple clouds, golden rain

A7
Yesterday has gone

      Gm        Bb          C
And a dandelion dies in the wind
[Verse 2]
Am                        G    D
If you're quick enough to rise

                             Am
With the sleep still in your eyes

F                                         C
You'll see the shadow of the sun above my mind

  Bb             C               F
I know that only you can help me now
[Chorus]
               Dm
Purple clouds, golden rain

A7
Yesterday has gone

      Gm        Bb          C
And a dandelion dies in the wind
[Bridge]
D
 But a dandelion sighs

       G
And it tries to tell the wind

     A              G
That crying's not a bad thing

F             C
Worrying is a sin

Dm                        Bb
If they sent a cloud from my heaven

A7                    Dm
I would ride into the skies

                    Bb
To escape all of my troubles

A                     Dm C
And to cast away your lies
[Chorus]
F                 Dm
Purple rains have turn to gold

    A
The clouds of yesterday

      Gm        Bb          C
And a dandelion dies in the wind
[Verse 3]
  Am                    G       D
I see my eyes and I see my arms

                 Am
The seagulls say you've gone

F                              C
It was just a game of let's pretend

Bb                   C                  F
And I whistle to the waves that lend me tears
[Out-Chorus]
F              Dm
Purple clouds, golden rain

A7
Yesterday has gone

      Gm        Bb          C
And a dandelion dies in the wind

      Gm7       Bb          C
And a dandelion dies in the wind

      Gm7       Bb          C    D
And a dandelion dies in the wind
