[G]
Starry, starry night, paint [Am] your palette blue [A] and grey.
[C] Look out on a summer's day [D] with eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul.
Shadows on the hills, sketch the [Am] trees and the daffodils.
Catch [C] the breeze and the winter chills [G] in [D] colors on the snowy linen [G] land.
[C] [G] [Bm] Now I [A] understand [D] what you [G] tried to say to [Em] me,
and how you suffered [Am] for your sanity, [D] and how you tried to [Em] set them free.
They would not listen, they [A] did not know how.
[Am] [D] Perhaps [G] they'll listen now.
Starry, starry night, flaming [Am] flowers that brightly blaze.
[C] Swirling clouds in violet haze [D] reflect in Vincent's eyes of [G] China blue.
Colors changing hue, morning [Am] fields of [A] amber grain.
[Am] Weathered [C] faces lined in pink [D] are soothed beneath the artist's [G] loving hand.
Now [Bm] I [A]
understand [Am] [D] what [G] you tried to say to me,
[Em] and [C] how you [G] suffered [Am] for your sanity, [B] [D] and how you tried to [Em] set them free.
They would not listen, [A] they did not know how.
[Am] [D] Perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
For they could not [Am] love [B] you, [D] but still your [G] love was true.
[Em]
And when [Am] no hope was left inside [Cm] on that starry, starry night,
[Gm] you took your life [F] as lovers [E] often do.
But [Am] I [G] could have told 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 [A] halls.
[E] [C] Frameless heads on nameless walls,
[D] with eyes that watch the world and [G] can't forget,
like the strangers that you've met.
The ragged [Am] men in ragged clothes,
a silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose,
[G] [D] lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin snow.
[Bm] Now I [Am] think I know [B]
[D] what you [G] tried to say to [Em] me,
and how you [G] suffered [Am] for your sanity, [B] [D] and how you tried [C] to set them [Em] free.
They would not listen, [A] they're not listening still.
[Am] [D] Perhaps they [G] never will.
