[F]
Starry, starry [C]
[F] night, paint [Gm] your palette blue and grey.
[G] [Gm] [G] Look out on [F] a summer's day,
[Bb] [C] with eyes that know the darkness in my [F] soul,
[G] shadows on [F] the
[G] hills.
Sketch the [Gm] trees and daffodils, [G] [Gm] catch [Dm] the breeze and the winter chills,
[Bb] in colours on snow [C] even in [F] black.
[G] [F]
Now I [Gm] understand, [G]
[C] what you [F] tried to [Em] say to [Dm] me,
and how you suffered for [Gm] your sanity, [G]
[C] and how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen, [G] they did not know how, [Gm]
[C] perhaps they'll [F] listen now.
[C] [Bb] [F]
Starry, starry
[C] [F] night, flaming [Gm] flowers that brightly blaze,
[G] swirling clouds [F] in a violent [Bb] haze, [C] reflect in Vincent's eyes of [F] China blue,
colours change in [Bb] hue.
[F] Morning [G] themes of [Gm] amber
[D] grey, [Gm]
weathered [Bb] faces blind in pain,
[Am] [Bb] are soothed beneath the
[C] artist's [F] loving hand.
Now I [Gm] understand,
[C]
what you tried [F] to say [Em]
to [Dm] me,
and how you suffered for [Gm] your sanity, [F]
[C] and how you tried to set [Dm] them free.
They would not listen, they [G] did not know how, [Gm] [Bb]
perhaps [C] they'll listen [F] [G] now.
For they could [Gm] not love you, [C] but still your [F] love was [C] true.
[Dm] And when [Gm] no hope was left inside, on [Bbm] that starry, starry night,
[F] you took your life [Eb]
as lovers often [D] do.
[D] But I could have told [Gm] you Vincent,
[A]
[Bb] this world was never [F] meant [C] for one as beautiful as [F] you.
[Bb]
[F] Like
[Gm]
[Am] [Bb] [F]
[Gm] [C] [F]
the strangers that you met, [Bb] [F] the ragged men [Gm] in ragged
[D] clothes,
the silver [Bb] thong, a bloody robe, like [C] crushed and broken on the virgin [F] snow.
Now I think [Gm] I know, [G]
[C] what you tried [F] to [E] say [Db]
to [Dm] me, [F] and how you suffered for [Gm] your sanity,
[C] and how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen, [G] they're not listening still,
perhaps they never [C]
[F] will.
