[Verse 1]
D 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
Shadows on the hills
Am
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
D G
In colours on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
Em Am D
Now I understand
G
What you tried to say to me
Am D
How you suffered for your sanity
G
How you tried to set them free
Am
They would not listen, they did not know how
C D G
Perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse 2]
D G
Starry, starry night
Am
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C
Swirling clouds in violet haze
D G
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
D G
Colours changing hue
Am
Morning fields of amber grain
C
Weathered faces lined in pain
D G
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
Em Am D
Oh, now I understand
G
What you tried to say to me
Am D
How you suffered for your sanity
G
How you tried to set them free
Am
They would not listen, they did not know how
C D G
Perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
Em C D
For they could not love you, love you
G Em
But still your love was true
Am D
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night
Bm D G
You took your life as lovers often do
C
But I could have told you, Vincent
Em Am D G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse 3]
D G
Oh, starry, starry night
Am
Portraits hung in empty halls
C
Frameless heads on nameless walls
D G
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
D G
Like the strangers that you've met
Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes
C
The silver thorn of a bloody rose
D G
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Em Am D
Now I think I know
G
Oh, what you tried to say to me
C
How you suffered for your sanity
D G
How you tried to set them free
Am
They would not listen, they're not listening still
D G
Perhaps they never will
D G
Starry, starry night
Am
Paint your palette blue and gray
