   E                   B
He materialized at the edge of my street
     G#m                       A           B
In a big beater car that never missed a beat
  E                            B
I guess you could say that's when it all began
G#m  A B

     F#m            B                      C#m
He seduced me on my way home from marching band
       F#m
It was 1991

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

C#m                              B
Suddenly the universe was out of whack
             A                        E
And once you go there, you can't come back
    C#m                                          B
And daddy looked like he was gonna have a heart attack
A                        E
Clenched his fist and he said
A                       E
"When I get my hands on that mother fucker
      A                          B
Gonna put his purple nads in the ground and weigh the fucker *
* (Please comment if you know what he says in this line.)
     A                                    B
I'll tear him limb from limb on a torture rack"

    E               B
The afternoons were spent in nap
    G#m                A         B
The nights for sitting on his lap
E                  B              G#m  A B
Feeding him purple beans out of a can
F#m               B               C#m
Everything going according to his plan
           F#m
It was the last time I had fun, yeah

BRIDGE (same as before but play only once not twice)


C#m                                   B
Spilling our seeds into the serpent's garden
               A                E
Our young love muscles began to harden
    C#m                                       B
And that's when mother coughed and begged our pardon
A                          E
Cleared her throat and she said
               A                       E
"You're such a good little boy and you always wanna please us
A                             B
Surely we can fix this with a little more Jesus
    A                              B
And pray and pray that purple gay away"

E          B
 Hey Nancy boys this ones for you
G#m               A
 And the big pink bubble from the gum you chew
E            B                  G#m           A
 It's such a hoot watching what you've turned into
E                B
 As the days fly pass
             G#m                      A
We'll stand aghast, trapping you at a social impasse
E                        B
Run out the door just as fast as you can
    G#m                   A             N/C
And try to go back to the summer of the purple man
