Chords for Don Mclean - "Vincent" (Starry Starry Night)

[E] _ _ _ [Gbm] _ _ _ _ [C]
Chickens have pretty legs [Gb] in Kansas. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Gbm] _ I'm talking about, uh, _ _ _ _ I _ have asthma, you know, [E] I'm sure you know that.
So being a singer with all these weird [B] allergies that are around,
so every [Cm] few months I go through a wonderful experience of trying to [C] figure out what's going on in the [Bb] grass,
_ [B] in the trees. _ _
Singing is okay, but I can [Ab] feel it, it's out there.
You [Gb] feel it?
You're [G] sneezing and stuff? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
You get dry eyes and stuff.
Then you can [B] use those drugs in your eyes and then have a [Ab] little print on there
that's [B] okay to use if you want to blow your liver out.
_ _ _ Everything blows your liver [Gb] out. _
_ [G] _ _ _ Anyway, so I, uh, you know, I do write [Bb] songs about [C] people sometimes,
[G] and _ [Ab] this one, oh, this one's still going great.
_ [G] Starry, starry _ night _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Paint your [A] palette blue and gray _
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ Look [Em] out on a summer's _ _ day _ _
[G] With [E] eyes that know the [G] darkness in my _ soul
_ _ _ Shadows on the _ hills _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sketch the [Am] trees and the _ daffodils _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] Catch the breeze and the winter _ chills _
In colors [Gbm] on the [G] snowy living land _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Now I [Am] understand
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
_ _ _ _ What you [G] tried to say to [D] me
_ _ [Em] _
_ _ And how you suffered for [Am] your sanity
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _
[D] _ _ How you tried to [G] set them free
[E] _ _ They would not [Em] listen, they did not [A] know how _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] Perhaps they'll listen _ now _ _
Starry, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ starry night _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Flaming flowers [Am] that brightly blaze in
_ _ _ _ _ _ Swirling [C] clouds in violet haze _
_ _ [D] _ Reflect in Vincent's eyes a [G] china bloom _ _ _ _
_ Colors _ changing hue _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Morning [Em] feels of [Am] ember _ green
_ _ [A] _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ [C] Weathered faces lined in pain
_ [D] Are _ _ soothed beneath the _ artist's loving [G] hand
_ _ _ _ _ Now I [Am] understand
_ _ [C] _ _ What [D] _ _ _ _ _ you [G]
tried to say to [Bm] me _ _
_ [E] _ And how you suffered [Am] for your sanity _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ How you tried [Am] to set them [Em] free
_ They would not listen, [G] they did not [A] know how _
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ _
Perhaps [G] they'll listen _ now
_ [C] For _ [G] _ they [A] could not [C] love you
_ [D] Still _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] your love was true _ _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _ And when all [E] hope was left inside
[C] On that starry, starry [Cm] night
_ [G] You _ _ took your life [C] as lovers [E] often do _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] But I could have told [E] you Vincent
_ [C] _ _ _ _ This [E] world was never meant for [C] one
[G] As [D] beautiful _ [G] as you _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Starry, starry night
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Portraits [Am] hung in empty halls _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] Frameless heads [C] on nameless _ walls _ _
[D] With eyes that watch the world and can't [G] forget
_ _ Like the strangers that you've _ _ met
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Ragged men in [Am] ragged clothes
_ _ _ _ A _ _ _ _ silver [C] thorn in a bloody _ rose
_ _ _ [D] Lie crushed and broken on a _ [G] virgin's slipper
_ _ _ Now I [Am] think I know
[C] _ What _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _ _
you [G] tried to say to [Bm] me
_ [E] _ And _ how you suffered [Am] for your sanity _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
How you tried to set them [E] free _
_ They would [Em] not listen, they're not [A]
listening still _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _
Perhaps _ [G] they never _ _ will _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
