Chords for Vincent Don McLean Cover

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _
Starry, [G] starry night, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ paint your [Am] palette blue and grey. _
_ _ _ _ Look out [C] on a summer's day, _ _ with [D] eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul.
_ _ Shadows on the hill, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ sketch the trees [Am]
and the _ _ _ daffodils. _ _
_ _ Catch the [C] breeze and the winter chill, _ _ [F#] in [D]
colors on the _ snowy [G] inland _ land.
_ Now I _ [E]
understand, _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ what you [Gm] tried to say [D] to [G] me.
[E] _ _
How you suffered for [Am] your _ sanity, _ _ _ [D] _ _
how you tried to set them [Em] free.
_ They would not listen, they [A] did not know how. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [D] Perhaps they'll [G] listen _ _ _ now. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Starry, starry night, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ flaming [Am] flowers that brightly _ blaze. _
_ _ _ _ _ Swirling [C] clouds and violet _ haze, _
[D] reflect in the incense eyes of [G] China blue.
_ _ _ Colors changing _ hue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ morning [Am]
fields of amber grain. _ _
_ _ _ _ Weathered [C] faces _ lined in pain, [A] [D] are soothed [F#] beneath the _ artist's [G] loving _ _ _ [C] hand. _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ Now I [E] _ understand, _ [Am] _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] what you [G] tried to say [D] to me.
[Em] _ _ How you suffered [Am] for your _ sanity, [E] _ _ _
[D] _ _ how you tried to set them [Em] free.
_ They would not listen, [A] they did not know _ how.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ [D] _
Perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
[Am] For they [G] could not [Am] love _ you, _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
still your [G] _ love was [D] true.
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _
And when [Am] all hope was left _ inside, _ [Cm] on that _ starry, starry night. _ _
[G] You took your life [A] as lovers often do.
_ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But I _ [Am] could have _ told you then, [C] since _ this world was never meant _ for one [D] _
as beautiful _ _ as [G] _
you. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Starry, starry night, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ portraits [A] hung in _ empty _ halls.
[F#] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ Frameless [C] heads on aimless [Em] _ 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. _
_ _ _ _ Silver _ [C] thorn, a bloody _ rose, _ _ [D]
lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin _ soul.
_ Now I [A] think _ [F#] I _ know, [Am] _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
what you [Gm] tried to say [D] to _ [E] me.
_ [Em] How you suffered for [A] your _ [Am] sanity, _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ how you tried to set them [Em] free. _ _
They would not listen, [A] they're not listening _ still. _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ [F#m] _ Perhaps [F#] they never _ [E] _ _ [G] will. _ _
_ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
