piano chords wanted desperately: Old Friends Sale

I have been trying to a get a hold of the proper and accurate piano chords to Old Friend 4 Sale, played by Prince in the 1984/85 versions of the song that almost all of us have on bootleg. Can anybody help me...?!

Yo DrFink, great music sheets. They look 'original'. Do you happen to know were I could find Bass Tabs. I've been looking tabcrawler.com and consorts for the bass tab of 'Lets Work' but couldn't find a thing.

prince sheet music is not rare in any way, you can buy it in all big music stores (with nothes and sheet music) or you can go to the public library and they can get almost all prince's albums in shet music. it was specifically "Old Friends 4 Sale" (and the sublime jazzy piano chords) i was after... cuz THEY're truly hard to find.

As far as I am aware Prince sheet music (guitar tab / piano / vocal) was issued for the following Prince albums:

Purple Rain
Around The World In A Day
Parade
Sign 'O' The Times
Lovesexy
Batman
Graffiti Bridge
Diamonds and Pearls
prince
The Hits (not including B Sides)
Come
The Gold Experience

A compilation called (I think) Prince Greatest Hits also included some earlier songs.

So, about half his albums have been issued in this format.

Sheet music for singles was also produced during the time period covered above (i.e. 1984-95). If anyone knows of Prince / prince album music produced after The Gold Experience, I'd be intersted to learn about it
