[Verse 1]
G
Starry, starry night
Am
Paint your pallet blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the
Am
daffodils
C D7 Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in
G C G
colours on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
Am D7 G
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Em Am7 How you suffered for your sanity How you
D7 Em
tried to set them free
A7
They would not listen, they did not know how
Am7 D7 G
perhaps they listen now
[Verse 2]
G
Starry, starry night
Am
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C D7
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's
G
eyes of china blue
Am
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
C D7 G
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed
beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
Am D7 G
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Em Am7 D7
How you suffered for your sanity How you
Em
tried to set them free
A7
They would not listen, they did not know how
Am7 D7 G
perhaps they listen now
[Extended Chorus]
G Am7 D7 For they could not love you, but still your love
G Em
was true
Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night
G F7 E7 Am7
You took your life as lovers often do, But I could have told you Vincent
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse 3]
G
Starry, starry night
Am
Portraits hung in empty halls
C D7 G
Frameless heads on nameless walls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged
Am
men in ragged clothes
C D7 G
The silver thorn, the bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Final Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7
How you suffered for your sanity How you
Em
tried to set them free
A7 They would not listen, they're not listening still
Am7 D7 G
perhaps they never will
