I've recently started learning the piano and I'd love to be able to play the middle breakdown of "Computer Blue", the bit from Purple Rain where he walks in on his Dad in the basement playing it. Can anyone help, even just the basic chords would be a help?

Also, I'm trying to find piano chords for some of Prince's other songs...anyone know any good sites? I have the Prince: Hits sheet music book but I swear some of the chords in there are wrong. In particular "Nothing Compares 2U" sounds wrong no matter how I play it!!

i think computer blue mid section is Bm and A repeated then changes to G6 and F#7 repeated ending on E flat, E flatsus4 then A flat

i haven't got a keyboard near me so i could be wrong though

That's its own song called "Father's Song". The sheet music is out there.

I've found the chords in those song books to be the same as Prince's music, most every time. There are other artists that have different keys in the song books for whatever reason, but as I've learned Prince songs playing by ear, when I've finally seen the sheet music, the key is the same as the tape/CD.
