Chords for Don McLean - Vincent - @ Finlandia Hall, Helsinki Nov 13, 2012 - 1080p HD

But Cash brought me over to his house [A] and [G#]
I spent a couple of days with him.
[F#] And the song I [G] sang that night on the Grammys was this one.
Starry, starry night, _ _ _ _ _ _ H-R [Am] palette cool and gray. _ _ _ _
Look [C] out on a summer's day, _ [D] with eyes that know the darkness in my [G] soul.
_ _ [Em] _
[G] Shadows on the hills, _ _ _ _ _ sketch the [E] trees and the daffodil.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ Catch [C] the breeze and the winter chills, [D] in colors on the snowy [G] linen land.
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ Now [Am] I understand, _ [C] _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] what you tried to say to me.
[Em] How _ _ you [Am] suffered for your sanity, _ _ [D] _
_ how you [C] tried to set [E] them free.
_ [Em]
You would not listen, they [A] did not know how. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ Perhaps [G] they'll listen now.
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ Starry, starry night, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ flaming [E] flowers that brightly blaze.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [C] Swirling clouds in violet haze, _ [A] _ [F#] reflect in Vincent's eyes of [G] china blue.
_ Colors change in hue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ morning [Am] fields of amber grain.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Weathered faces lined with pain, _ [G] are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. _ _
Now I [Am] understand, _ [C] _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ what you tried to [G] say to me.
[Em] _ _ _ [C] How you [Am] suffered for your sanity, _ _ _ _ how you tried to [Em] set them free.
You would not listen, they did [A] not know how. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ Perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
_ _ For [Am] they could not love you, _ [D] _ _ [Am] _ _
still [G] your love was true.
_ [Bm] _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ And [Am] when all hope was left [Cm] inside on that starry, starry night. _ _
[G] _ Took [C] your life as lovers often [E] do.
_ _ _ [Am] But I could have told you this.
[C] _ _ _ This world [B] was never meant [D] for one as beautiful _ [G] as _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ you.
Starry, [G] starry night. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] Portraits hung [Am] in empty hall, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] frameless heads on painless wall. _ _
[D] _ With eyes that watched the world, [G] can't forget _ the [Am] strangers that you [G] met. _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
Ragged [E] men in ragged clothes.
_ [Am] _
_ _ _ Silver [C] thorn, a bloody road.
_ _ [D] Lie crushed, broken on the [G] virgin's spell.
_ _ _ [B] Now I think I [Am] know, [C] _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ [G] what you tried to say to me.
[Em] _ _ _ How you suffered for [Am] your sanity.
_ _ _ [D] _ _
How you tried [Em] to set them free. _
Would not listen, they're [A] not listening still. _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _ Perhaps [Am] they never [G] will.
_ _ [G] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [N] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] Wow, you're a great artist.
[N] Thank you.
_ _ _ Terrific. _ _
