Vincent Chords by Josh Groban

I recorded a song that was a cover song and it was a song that I listened to for
for many many years and it was one that I felt needed to be redone.
It's
Don McLean's Vincent and when they told me that Christopher Parkinian was going
to play guitar on it with me I said oh my wow that's an amazing honor but the
guitar part is for two people and they said and when I told him that he said oh
that's okay I'll play both parts on one guitar so it's _ pretty incredible.
Please help me welcome back to the stage Christopher Parkinian. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[C] _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

[F] _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Dm] _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Sketch the [Gm] trees and daffodils, _ _ _ [F] catch the breeze and the winter chills, [Bb] _ [G] with colors on the snowy linen land.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ Now [Gm] I understand [Dm] _ _ _ [C] _ what you [F] tried to [Em] say to [Dm] me, and how you suffered [Gm] for your sanity,
and [C] how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen, [G] they did not know how.
[Gm] _ _ [C] Perhaps they'll listen [F] _ now. _ _ _ _
Starry, starry night, _ _ _ [Gm] flaming flowers that brightly _ blaze, _ _
[Dm] swirling clouds [F] and violet haze [C] reflect in Vincent's eyes [F] of China blue, [D] colors
[F]
changing hue.
_ _ Morning [Dm] _
[Gm] fields of amber [G] gray, [Gm] _ _ [A] weathered faces [Bb] lined in [Dm] pink, [C] are soothed
beneath the [F] artist's loving _ _ _ hand. _
Now [Gm] I [G] understand _ _ _
[Cm] what you tried to [F] say to [Dm] me, and how you suffered [Gm] for your sanity, _
[C] _ and how you tried to set them [Dm] free.
They would not listen, [G] they did not know how.
_ [Bb] _ _
Perhaps [C] they'll listen [F] _ [G] now, for they could [Gm] not love you, [C] _ but still your [F] love was true.
_ [C] _ _ [Dm] _ And when [Gm] no hope was left inside, [Bbm] on that starry, starry night, [F] took your life, [Eb] as lovers [D] often do.
_ But I could have told [Gm] you, Vincent, _ _ [Bb] this world was never meant for one as beautiful as
[F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Gm] _ _ [Am] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ like [C] the strangers that [F] you've met. _ _
The ragged [Gm] man in ragged [D] clothes, _ _ the [Bb] silver thorn, a bloody [C] rose,
like crushed and broken on [F] the virgin snow.
Now I [Gm] think I [G] know _ [Cm] what you tried [F] to say [Db] to [Dm] me,
[F] and how you suffered for [Gm] your sanity, _ [G] _ [C] and how you tried to [Dm] set them free.
They would not listen,
[G] they're not listening still.
_ _ _ [Cm] Perhaps they [C] never _ [F] will.
