hey, use your ear, most of the chords are very simple in Prince's music. Take me with you is simple. I read music and have the book but I don't have it with me so I can't tell you which chords they are. As a keyboardist, I would encourage you to use your ear if possible. Major or Minor, keep trying until you find the right ones.

Thanks for answering. Most of the chords are easy but i have some trouble with the line: "All i want is 2 spend the night together"

I have the PVG for "Take Me With U" and it reads as follows: 


VERSE

F#m/A     G/A     A     G/A     N.C.  F#m/A     G/A     N.C.

I can't dis-guise the pounding of my heart,     It beats so strong.     



     F#m/A   G/A   A     G/A    N.C.     F#m/A   G/A

It's in your eyes. What can I say?     They turn me on.



CHORUS

D(no3rd)  E(no3rd)/D D(no3rd)  E(no3rd)/D  N.C.  D(no3rd)  E(no3rd)/D  E7  A/E

I don't   care     where  we go,     I don't  care     what we do



N.C. F#m/A   G/A     A  G/A     F#m7  G6/9  E6    A

     I don't care pretty ba-by,    Just take  me    with  you.



Fmaj7     G/A   A  G/A

I don't care if we spend the night at your mansion.



Fmaj7     F#m/A  G/A  A  G/A

I don't care if we spend the night on the town.



D7sus4     E7sus4     N.C.     A(no3rd)/F#  B(no3rd)/F# 

     All I want is to spend the night together.



F#m  E(no3rd)/F#  F6/9     G6/9     N.C. F#m/A  G/A

     All I want is to spend the night in your arms.


and repeat ...


I was only going to give you the basic chord progression, but then got carried away transcribing! wink


Enjoy!

BTW, the way you guys on hear talk to other musicians, you'd think you could all play by ear as well as Prince. Some of us mortals need a chord chart or a piano solo every now and then!

we dont think we can play by ear as well as any other musician, we play because we love music, and love to create our own sound,i play by ear does that make me a worse musician than anyone else? no. it just means i can hear it and play it, in my minds eye thats a blessing in itself,we play because we do smile

Don't misundertand me ... I am envious of you that you can play by ear. Myself, I am no good at picking up basic chords and then progressing from there.

I'd love to be able to hear a chord and say "A flat minor 7" and be playing along within seconds!!

Good for you!


Just have a little patience with the musicians like myself ...

Don't be envious, you can do it, I didn't think I could do it so I learned how to read. Both are useful. Do what you can. Experiment. Create. I use my ear primarily now because sheet music has many shortcomings. Most pop/rock musicians use their ear, I can't say that reading is useful though and I know how it is not to be able to get a chord. Just try to get close to it, that is what Jazz people would call "Interpretive".
