[G] Starry, starry night, paint [Am] your [E] palette blue 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 [E] trees and the daffodils, [Am] [E] catch [C] the breeze and the winter chills,
[D] In colors on the snowy [G] linen land, [C] [G]
now I [Am] understand,
[D]
What [G] you tried to [Bm] say to [Em] me, how you suffered [Am] for your sanity,
[D] How you tried to set [Em] them free, they would not listen, they [A] did not know how,
[C]
[A] Perhaps they'll [G] listen now, starry, starry night,
Flaming [A] flowers that brightly [E] 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 grain, weathered [C] faces lined in pain,
[D] Are soothed beneath the [G] artist's loving hand, [C] now I [Am] understand,
[D] What you [G] tried to [Bm] say to me, [Em] how you suffered [Am] for your sanity,
[D] How you tried to set them [Em] free, they would not listen, [A] they did not know how,
[Am] [D] Perhaps they'll listen [G] now, for they could [Am] not love you, [D] but still your [G] love was true,
[Em]
And when [Am] no hope was left in sight [Cm] on that starry, starry night,
[G] You took your [F] life as [E] lovers often do, [Am] but I could have told you, Vincent,
[C] This world was never meant for [D] one as beautiful [G] as you, [Em] starry, [G] starry night,
Portraits [Am] hung in empty halls, [B] frameless [C] heads on nameless walls,
[D] With eyes that watch the world and [G] can't forget, [C] like the strangers [G] that you've met,
The ragged [Am] men in ragged clothes, the silver [C] thorn of bloody roads,
[D] Lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin's smooth, [Em] now I [Am] think I know,
[D] What you [G] tried to [Bm] say to [Em] me, how you suffered [Am] 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.
