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

For they could

Am love you, love
D you.
But still your
G love was true _ .
Em _ And when
Am no hope was left in sight.
On that
C starry,
Cm starry night.
G You took your life as lovers
Em often
E do.
But I
Am could have told you, Vincent.
C This world was never meant for one.
D As beautiful
G as you.
_ _ _ Starry, starry night.
_ _ Portraits
Am hung in empty halls.
_ Frameless
C heads on
Am nameless walls.
D With eyes that watch the world
G and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met _ .
_ The ragged
Am men in ragged _ clothes.
The silver
C thorn of a bloody rose.
D Like crushed and broken on the
G virgin snow _ _ .
Now I think
Am I know.
D Oh, _ what you
G tried to say to
Em me.
How you suffered for
Am your sanity _ _ .
D How you tried to set
Em them free.
They would not listen,
A they're not listening still.
D _ _ Perhaps they
G never will _ _ _ _ _ .
