[B] So, und an dieser Stelle muss man sich jetzt tumultartigen Applaus vorstellen,
aber wir haben die 40 Mark pro Jubelstatisten gespart und stattdessen Don McLean engagiert.

Listen [G] now, starry, starry night, flaming [E] flowers that brightly blaze,
[Am] swirling [C] clouds in violet haze [D] reflect in Vincent's eyes of [G] china blue,
colors changing hue, morning [Am] fields of amber [E] grain,
weathered [C] faces lined in pain [D] are soothed beneath the artist's [G] loving hand,
now I [A] understand [D] what you [G] tried to say to me,
[Em]
how you suffered [A] for your sanity,
[D] how you tried to set [Em] them free,
they would not listen, [A] they did not know how, [Am] [D] perhaps they'll [G] listen now,
[A] for they [Am] could not love you,
[D] but still your [G] love was true,
[Em] and [Am] when no hope was left in sight on [Cm] that starry, starry night,
[G] you took your [F] life as lovers [E] often do,
but [A] I could have told [E] you, Vincent, [C] this world was never meant for one [D]
as beautiful [G] as [C] you,
[G] starry, starry night, portraits [Am] hung in empty halls,
frameless [C] heads on nameless walls,
[D] with eyes that watch this world and [G] can't forget,
like the strangers that you've met,
the ragged [A] men in ragged clothes,
[Am]
a silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose,
[D] lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin snow,
now I [A] think I know what [D] you [G] tried to say to me,
[Em] how you suffered [A]
for your sanity,
[D] how you tried to set [Em] them free,
they would not listen, [A] they're not listening still,
[Am]
[D] perhaps they [G] never will.
