[E]
Starry, starry [E] night, paint your palette [F#m]
blue and grey
[E] Look out on a summer's day, with [F#] eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the [F#m] trees and daffodils
Catch [C#m] the breeze [A] and the winter [F#m] chills, in [F#] colours on the snowy linen [E] land
Now I [F#m] understand,
[B] what you tried [E] to say [G#m] to me
[C#m] And how you suffered for [F#m] your sanity, [B]
and how you [F#m] tried to set them free
They would not listen, [F#] they did not know how, perhaps they'll [E] listen now
Starry, starry night, flaming [F#] flowers [F#m] that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds [A] and violet haze, reflect in Vincent's eyes of [B] China [E] blue
Colours changing hue, morning [F#m] fields of amber grain
[A] Weathered faces lined in pain, are [B] soothed beneath the artist's loving [E]
hand
Now I [F#m] understand, [B]
what you tried [E] to say [D#m] to [C#m] me
And how you suffered for [F#m] your sanity, [B]
and how you tried to set them [C#m] free
They would not listen, [F#] they did not know how,
[F#m] perhaps [B] they'll listen [E]
now
[F#] For they could not [F#m] love [B] you, but still your love [E] was [B] true
[C#m]
And when you're [F#m] left inside, [Am] on that starry, starry night
[E] You took your [Em] life, as lovers often [C#] do
[C#] But I could have told [F#m] you Vincent, this [A] world was never meant for one [B] as beautiful [E] as you
[B]
Like

[A]
[A] [B]
[E] the strangers that you met,
[F#m] close
The [G#] silver [A] thorn of bloody [F#]
[A] rose, [B] like crushed and broken on the virgin's [E] nose
Now I think [F#m] I know, [B]
what you tried [E] to [G#] say to [C#m] me
And how you suffered for [F#m] your sanity, and how you tried to set [C#m] them free
They would not listen, [F#] they're not listening still
[F#m]
[B] Perhaps they never
[E] will
