Starry, [G] starry night
[D] Paint [E] your palette blue and grey
[Am] Look [C] 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] Catch [C] the breeze and the winter chills
[D] In colors on the snowy [G] linen land
[F#] [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 [E] flowers that brightly blaze
[Am]
[C] Swirling clouds in violet haze
Reflect in Vincent's [G] eyes of china blue
[Em] Colors [G] changing hue
Morning [Am] fields of amber grain
Weathered faces [C] 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 [Em] me
How you suffered [Am] for 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
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 [E] as 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
[Am] Portraits hung in empty halls
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 rose
[D] Lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin's shoe
[Em] Now I [Am] think I know
[D]
What you [G] tried to say [Bm] 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
