[E] [G] Starry, starry night
Paint [Am] your palette blue and grey
Look [C] out on a summer's day
[D] With eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the [Am] trees and the daffodils
Catch [C] the breeze and the winter chills
[D] In colors on the [G] snowy linen land
[F#]
[G] Now I [Am] understand
[D] What you [G] tried to [Bm] say to [Em] me
How you suffered [Am] for your sanity
[D] How you tried to set [Em] them free
They would not listen, [A] they 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 of [G] China blue
[Em] Colors [G] changing hue
Morning [Am] fields of amber grain
Weathered [C] faces 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 suffered [Am] for your sanity
[D] How you tried to set them [Em] free
They would not listen, they [A] did not know how
[Am] [D] Perhaps they'll listen [G] now
For they could [Am] not love you
[D] But still your love [G] was true
[Em]
And when [Am] no hope was left in [Cm] sight
On that starry, starry night
[G] You took your [F] life as [E] lovers often do
But [Am] I [Em] could have told you, Vincent
[C] This world was never meant for one [D] as beautiful [G] as you
[C]
[G] [Em] Starry, [G] starry night
Portraits [Am] hung in empty halls
Frameless [C] heads 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
The silver [C] thorn of bloody rose
[D] Lie crushed and broken on the [G] virgin's soul
[Em] Now I think [Am] I know
[Em] [D] What you tried [G] to say [Bm] to [Em] me
How you suffered [Am] for your sanity
[D] How you tried to [Em] set them free
They would not listen, they're [A] not listening still
[Am] Perhaps [D] they [G] never will
[N]
