This is tablature — fret positions rather than chord names. Wide lines scroll sideways on their own, so the page never does.

Great song, Prince is a groove master, so make sure you're in the pocket
when you play. I'm pretty sure you can figure out his fills, so I'll leave
that to you as it isn't worth putting to paper.
1 + 2 + 3 a x2 x2
G|-----4-----4-------4--|-----8-----8-------8--| D|----------------------|----------------------| A|--2-----2-----2-------|--6-----6-----6-------| E|----------------------|----------------------|
x2 x2
G|-----9-----9-------9--|----------------------| D|----------------------|-----5-----5-------5--| A|--7-----7-----7-------|----------------------| E|----------------------|--3-----3-----3-------|
For the last line, you can also play this:
x2
G|-----9-----9-------9--|----------------------|-----------------------| D|----------------------|-----5-----5-------5--|-----5----6----7----8--| A|--7-----7-----7-------|----------------------|-----------------------| E|----------------------|--3-----3-----3-------|--3----4----5----6-----|
Sometimes he switches to this:
x2
G|-----4-----4-------4--|-----8-----8-------8--|-----8----9----11----8--| D|----------------------|----------------------|------------------------| A|--2-----2-----2-------|--6-----6-----6-------|--6----7----9-----6-----| E|----------------------|----------------------|------------------------|
x2 x2
G|-----9-----9-------9--|----------------------| D|----------------------|-----5-----5-------5--| A|--7-----7-----7-------|----------------------| E|----------------------|--3-----3-----3-------|
Pretty sure that's everything, enjoy.
