verse 1
G
Starry, starry night
Am
Paint your palette blue and gray
C
Look out on a summer's day
D G
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G Am
Shadows on the hills
G Am
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
D G Am G
In colors on the snowy linen land
G Am
Now I understand
D G D
What you tried to say to me
Em Am
And how you suffered for your sanity
D Em
And how you tried to set them free
A C
They would not listen, they did not know how
D G Am G
Perhaps they'll listen now
verse 2
G Am
Starry, starry night
G Am Bm
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Am C
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
D G
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Am G
Colors changing hue
Am
Morning fields of amber grain
C
Weathered faces lined in pain
D G Am G
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
G Am C
Now I understand
D G D
What you tried to say to me
Em Am
And how you suffered for your sanity
D Em
And how you tried to set them free
Am C
They would not listen, they did not know how
D G Am G
Perhaps they'll listen now

For they could not love you
D G DEm
But still your love was true
Am
And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night
G Em
You took your life, as lovers often do
Am
But I could've told you, Vincent
C D G Am G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
verse 3
G Am
Starry, starry night
G Am
Portraits hung in empty halls
Am C
Frameless heads on nameless walls
D G
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
G Am G
Like the strangers that you've met
G Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes
C
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
D G Am G
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

And how you suffered for your sanity
D Em
And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen, they're not listening still
C D G Am G
Perhaps they never will
