Verse 1
Am 
G 
Starry, starry night
Am 
Paint your palette blue an  d grey
C 
Look out on a sun's day
D 
With eyes that know
G 
the darkness in my soul
C 
G 
Shadows on the hills
Am 
Sketch the trees and the daffodil
C 
Catch the breeze and  winter chills
D 
G 
Am 
G 
In colours on the snowy linen land
Now I understand
Am 
D 
G 
D 
Em 
What you try to say to me
Am 
How you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
And  how you tried to set them free
They would not listen,
Am 
they did not know how
Em 
Am 
D 
Perhaps they'll
G 
Am 
G 
listen now
Starry, starry night
Am 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C 
Swirling clouds in violet haze
D 
Reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue
G 
C 
G 
Colors changing hue
Am 
Morning fields of amber grain
C 
Weathered faces lined in pain
D 
Are soothed beneath the
G 
artist's loving hand
Now I understand
Am 
D 
G 
D 
G 
What you try to say to me
Em 
Am 
How you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
And  how you tried to set them free
Am 
They would not listen, did not know how
A 
Em 
Am 
D 
Perhaps they'll listen now
G 
Am 
For they could not love you,
D 
G 
D 
Em 
but still love was true
Am 
And when no hope was left in sight
Eb 
on that starry, starry night
Cm 
G 
E 
You took your life as lovers often do
Am 
Well, I   could have told you, Vincent,
C 
D 
this world was never meant for one as
G 
Em 
G 
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 rose
D 
Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow
G 
Am 
D 
Now I think I know
G 
What you tried to say to me,
Em 
Am 
how you suffered for your sanity
D 
Em 
How you tried to set them free,
they would not listen,
Am 
they're not listening still
D 
G 
Perhaps they never will
You
