[E] Starry, [G] starry night, paint [Am] your palette blue and grey, [C] look out on a summer's day,.
[G] with eyes that know [D] the darkness [G] in my soul, shadows on the hills, sketch [Am] the trees and the daffodils,.
catch the [C] breeze and the winter chills, [D] in colours on the snowy [G] linen land, [C] [F#] [G] .
now I [Am] understand,.
[D] .
what you [G] tried to say [Bm] to me, [Em] .
how you suffered for [Am] your sanity, [D] .
how you tried to [Em] set them free,.
they would not listen, they [A] did not know how, [C] .
[D] perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
.
Starry, starry night, flaming [Am] flowers that brightly blaze, [C] swirling clouds in violet haze,.
[D] reflect in Vincent's eyes [G] of china blue, .
[Em] colours [G] changing hue, morning [Am] fields of amber grain, .
weathered faces [C] lined in pain, [D] are soothed beneath the [G] artist's loving hand, [C] now I [Am] understand,.
[D] .
what you [G] tried to say [Bm] to me, [Em] .
how you [Am] suffered for your sanity, [D].
how you tried to set [Em] them free,.
they would not listen, [A] they did not know how, [Am] [D] perhaps they'll listen [G] now, for they could [Am] not love you,.
[D] but still your [G] love was true, [Em] and when no [Am] hope was left in sight on [Cm] that starry, starry night,.
[G] you took your [F] life as [E] lovers often do, but [Am] I could have told you Vincent,.
[C].
this world was never meant for [D] one as beautiful .
[G] as [C] you, [G] .
[Em] starry, [G] starry night, .
portraits [Am] hung in empty halls, frameless heads [C] on nameless walls,.
[D].
with eyes that watch the world and [G] can't forget, like the [C] strangers that [G] you've met,.
the ragged [Am] men in ragged clothes, a silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose,.
[D] lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin's soul, [Em] now I think [Am] I know,.
[Em] [D] .
what you [G] tried to say [Bm] to me, [Em] how you suffered [Am] for your sanity,.
[D].
how you tried to set [Em] them free, they would not listen, they're [A] not listening still,.
[Am] .
[D] perhaps they [G] never will.
