Verse 1
G 
Starry, starry night
D 
Am 
Paint your palette blue and gray
C 
Look out on a summer's day
G 
D 
With eyes that know
the darkness in my soul
G 
Gsus4 
Shadows on the hills
G 
Am 
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C 
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
D 
G 
C 
G 
In colors on the snowy linen land
Am 
Now I understand
D 
G 
What you tried to say to me
Em 
Am 
And   how you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
And  how you tried to set them free
They would not listen,
A 
Am 
they did not know how
D 
G 
Perhaps they'll listen now
D 
G 
Starry, starry night
Am 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C 
Swirling clouds in violet haze
D 
G 
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue
Em 
G 
C 
G 
Colors changing hue
Am 
Morning fields of  amber grain
C 
Weathered faces lined in pain
D 
Are soothed beneath
the artist's loving hand
G 
Am 
Now I   understand
D 
G 
What you tried to say to me
Em 
Am 
And   how you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they
A 
did not know how
Am 
D 
Perhaps they'll listen now
G 
Am 
For they could not love you
D 
G 
But still your love was true
Em 
Am 
And when no hope was left in sight
Cm 
On that starry, starry night
C 
G 
F 
E 
You took your life as lovers often do
Am 
But I could have told you, Vincent
C 
This world was never meant
D 
G 
C 
G 
For one as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Am 
Portraits hung in empty halls
C 
Frameless heads on nameless walls
D 
With eyes that watch the world
G 
and can't forget
C 
G 
Like the strangers that you've met,
Am 
the ragged men in ragged clothes,
C 
the silver thorn of bloody roads,
D 
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
G 
Am 
Now I think I   know,
D 
G 
what you tried to say to me,
Em 
Am 
An  d how you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
And  how you tried to set them free
They would not listen,
A 
Am 
they're not listening still
D 
G 
Perhaps they never will you
