D(paradinha
Starry, starry night

Paint your palette blue and gray

Look out on a summer's day
A D
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul...

Shadows on the hills
E
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
A D
In colors on the snowy linen land.
E G
Now I understand
D C# B
What you tried to say, to me
E
And how you suffered for your sanity

They would not listen they did not know how --

Perhaps they'll listen now.

D(paradinha
Starry, Starry night
E
Portraits hung in empty halls
G
Frameless heads on nameless walls
A D
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
D(paradinha
Like the strangers that you've met
E
The ragged men in ragged clothes
G
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
A D
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
E G
Now I think I know
D C# B
What you tried to say, to me
E
And how you suffered for your sanity
E
They would not listen they're not listening still --
G D
Perhaps they never will.
E A
For they could not love you
D B
But still, your love was true
(LARGA) E
G
On that starry, starry night
C B
You took your life as lovers often do --

This world was never meant
A D
For one as beautiful as you.
