I think [C#] you're on that one.
[D] This is cool right?
That's cool for me.
[G]
Right, shall we do it?
Starry starry night
[C] [G] Paint your [Am] palette blue and grey
[C] Look out on a summer's day
[D] With eyes that know the darkness [G] in my soul
[C] The shadows [G] on the hill
Sketch [Am] the trees and the daffodils
Catch the [C] breeze and the winter chills
[D] In colors on the snowy [G] linen land
Now I [Am] understand
[C] [D]
What [G] you tried to say to me
[Em]
How you suffered [Am] for your sanity
[C] How [D]
you tried to set [Em] them free
They would not listen, they [A] did not know how
[C]
[D] Perhaps they'll [G] listen now
[D]
[G] Starry starry night
[G] [D] Flaming flowers, [Am] the bright blue place
Swirling clouds [C] and violet lace
[D] Reflecting Vincent's eyes of [G] China blue
With others changing hue
Morning [Am] fields of amber grain
Weathered [C] faces lined in pain
[D] Are soothed beneath the artist's loving [G] hand
Now I [A] understand
[C]
[D] What you [G] tried to say [D] 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
[C] [D] Perhaps they'll listen [G] now
They could not [Am] love you
[D]
Still your love was true
[Bm]
[Em] And when [Am] no hope was [E] left inside
On [Cm] that starry starry night
[G] You took your [D] life as lovers often [Em] do
I could have told you [C] Vincent
This world was never meant [D] for one
As [G] beautiful as you
[D] [G] Starry starry night
[C] [G]
Portraits hung in [Am] empty hall
[Bm] Frameless [C] heads on nameless wall
[D] With eyes that watch the world and [G] can't forget
[C] Like the strangers that you met
[D] The ragged man [Em] in ragged clothes
[Am]
[E] Silvered lawn [C] and a bloody road
[D] Light crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Now I think [Am] I know
What [E]
you tried [G] to say to me
[Em]
How you suffered for your sanity
How [D] you tried [E] to set them free
[Em] They would not listen, [A] they're not listening still
[C]
[D] Perhaps they [G] never will
[C] [G] [C#]
[D] This is cool right?
That's cool for me.
[G]
Right, shall we do it?
