[G]
Starry, starry [C] night, [G]
paint your [Am] palette blue and gray.
Look out [C] on a summer's day with [D] eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul.
Shadows on a hill, sketch the [Am] trees and the daffodils.
Catch the [C] breeze and the winter chills [D] in colors on the snowy [G] linen lens.
[C] [G]
Now I [Am] understand [D]
what you [G] tried to say to [Em] me.
How you suffered [Am] for your sanity, [D]
how you tried to set them free.
They did not listen, [A] they did not know how.
[Am] [D] Perhaps they'll [G] listen now.
Starry, starry [C] night, [G] [Am] flaming flowers that brightly blaze.
[C] Swirling clouds and violet [D] haze reflect in Vincent's eyes [G] of China blue.
Colors changing [C] hue, [G]
all the morning [Am] fields of [E] amber green.
[Am]
Weathered [C] faces lined in pain [D] are soothed beneath the artist's [G] loving hand.
Now I [Am] understand [D] what you tried to say to [Em] me.
How you suffered for [Am] your sanity, [D] how you tried [Em] to set them free.
They did not listen, they did [A] not know how.
[Am] [D] Perhaps they'll listen [G] now.
For they could not love [F#] you, [D] but still your love [D] was true.
[Em]
And [Am] when no hope was left in sight on [Cm] that starry, starry night,
[Em] you took your life as lovers often [A] do.
But I [C] could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for [D] one as beautiful [G] as you.
Starry, starry night, portraits [Am] hung in [E] empty halls.
[Am]
Frameless [C] heads on nameless walls [D] with eyes that watch the world and [G] don't forget,
like the strangers that we've met.
All the ragged [Am] men in [E] ragged clothes, [Am] a silver [C] thorn, a bloody rose,
[D] lie crushed and broken on the virgin [G] snow.
Now I [Am] think I know [D] what you [G] tried to say [Em] to me.
And how you suffered [Am] for your sanity, [D] how you tried [Em] to set them free.
They would not listen, they're [A] not listening still.
[Am] [D] Perhaps they [G] never will.
[C] [G]
Starry, starry [C] night, [G]
paint your [Am] palette blue and gray.

Catch the [C] breeze and the winter chills [D] in colors on the snowy [G] linen lens.
