Vincent Chords by Don Mclean

[G] _ Starry, starry _ night _
Paint _ _ _ _ _ _ _ your [A] palette blue and grey _
Look _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
_ out on [C] a summer's day _
With _ _ [D] _ eyes that know the [G] darkness in my soul _ _ _
Shadows on the hill
_ Sketch _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ the [A] trees and the _ daffodils
_ [B] _ [Am] Catch _ _ _ _ _ the [C] breeze and the winter _ chills
_ [D] In _ colors on the snowy linen _ [G] land
_ [C] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
Now [Am] I _ understand, girl _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
[G] What you tried to say to me
_ [Em] _ How _ _ you suffered [Am] for your sanity _ _ _
How [D] _ _ _ _ you tried [Em] to set them free
They would not listen, [A] they did not know how _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
Perhaps they'll [G] listen _ now _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Starry, starry night _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Flaming [Am] flowers that brightly blaze _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Swirling [C] clouds in violet haze
_ _ [D] _ _ Reflect in Vincent's eyes of [G] China blue _ _ _
Colors _ change in you _
_ Morning _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] fields of ember grain _
_ _ Weathered _ _ _ _ _ [C] faces _ lined in paint
_ _ [D] Are _ soothed beneath the _ artist's loving [G] _ hand _ _
Now I [Am] _ _ understand, _
_ _ _ [D] girl _ _ _
What you [G] tried to say to me
_ [Em] _ _ How you suffered [Am] for your sanity _ _
_ _ [D] How _ _ you tried to [Em] set them free
They would not listen, they [A] did not know how _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Perhaps they'll [G] listen _ now _
_ _ _ _ _ _ For they could not [Am] love you _ _
[D] Still _ _ _ _ _ [G] your love was true _ _ _
And [Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] when no hope was left in sight
On that [Cm] starry, starry night _ _
You [G] took your [F] life as lovers [E] often do
_ _ But _ _ _ [Am] I could have told you, Vincent
_ _ _ [C] _ _ This world was never meant for [D] one as _
Beautiful _ _ _ [G] as you _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Starry, starry night
_ _ _ Portraits _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Am] hung in empty halls _ _
Frameless _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] heads on nameless walls _
With [D] _ eyes that watch the world and can't [G] forget
_ _ Like the strangers that you've met _ _
The _ _ _ _ _ _ ragged men [Am] in ragged clothes _ _
_ A _ _ _ _ _ silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose _
_ _ [D] Lie crushed and broken on the virgin [G] snow _ _ _
Now I think [Am] I know _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
What you [G] tried to say [Bm]
to me
_ [Em] _ And _ how you suffered [Am] for your sanity _
_ _ _ [D] And _ _ how you tried [Em] to set them free _
Would not listen, they're [D] [A] not listening _ still
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
Perhaps _ [D] _ _ _ they _ never [G] will
_ Thanks for watching! _ _ _ _ _ _ _
