Vincent Van Gogh - Starry Starry Night with Don Mclean Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Starry, starry night, [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ ain't [A] your palette blue and gray?
_ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ Look out [C] on a summer's day, _ _ _ _ [D] with eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul. _ _
Shadows on the _ hills, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
sketch the [A] trees and the _ daffodils. _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ _ Catch the [C]
breeze and the winter chills, _ _ [D] _
in colors on the snowy linen [G] land. _
[C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
Now I [Am] _ understand, _ _ what [D] _ _ _ _ _ [G] you tried to say to me.
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ How you suffered [Am] for your sanity, _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
how you [A] tried to [Em] set them free.
They would not [Bm] listen, they [A] did not know how. _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] _
Perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
_ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ 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 hue, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ morning feels [Am] of amber grain. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Weathered [C] faces lined in pain, _ _ [D] are soothed beneath the artist's loving [G] hand. _ _
Now I [Am] _ understand, _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ what you [G] tried to say to me.
[Em] _
_ And 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. _ _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [D] Perhaps they'll [G] listen now. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ For they [A] could not love [Am] you, _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ [A] still your [G] love was true. _
[Bm] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ _
And [Am] when no hope was left in sight [Cm] on that starry, starry night. _ _
[G] You took your life [F] as lovers [E] often do.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Am]
But I could have told you Vincent, _ [C] _ _
this world was never meant for [D] one as _ beautiful _ as_
[G] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Starry, [G] starry night.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Portraits hung [Am] in empty halls, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ frameless [C] heads on nameless walls.
_ _ [D] With eyes that watch the world and [G] can't forget, _ like the strangers that you've met. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The ragged men [Am] in ragged clothes, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose.
_ _ [D] Like 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] _
_ _ how you tried [Em] to set them free.
They would not listen, they're [A] not listening still.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [D] Perhaps _ they never _ [G] will. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Starry, starry night. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Flaming [A] flowers [Am] that brightly blaze. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ 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. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] Weathered faces_ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
