Verse 1
D 
Starry, starry night,
Em 
paint your palette blue and grey.
G 
Look out on a summer's day
A 
with eyes that know
D 
the darkness in my soul.
Bm 
D 
Em 
Shadows on  the hills, sketch the
G 
Catch the breeze in the winter chills,
A 
In colours on the snowy
D 
G 
Bm 
linen land.
D 
Em 
Now I  un  derstand,
A 
D 
What you tried to say to me,
Bm 
D 
Em 
How you suffered for your sanity
A 
How you tried to set them free
Bm 
They would not listen,
Em 
E 
they did not know how
Em 
Asus4 
A 
D 
Perhaps they'll listen now
Starry, starry night
Em 
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
G 
Swirling clouds and violet haze
A 
Reflect in Vincent's
D 
eyes of China blue
G 
D 
Colors changing hue
Em 
Morning field of amber grain
G 
Weathered faces lined in pain
A 
are soothed beneath the artist's
D 
G 
D 
loving hand.
Now I understand
Em 
A 
D 
what you tried to say to me.
Bm 
D 
Em 
How you suffered for your sanity.
A 
How you tried to set them free,
Bm 
they would not listen,
E 
they did not know how.
Em 
Asus4 
A 
Perhaps     they'll listen now,
D 
Em 
for they could not love you,
A 
D 
Bm 
but still your love was true.
D 
Em 
And when no hope
was left inside
Gm 
on that starry, starry night
G 
D 
B 
Bsus4 
You took your life as lovers often do
B 
Em 
But I could have told you Vincent
This world was never meant for one
A 
D 
as beautiful as you
Starry, starry night
Em 
Portraits hung in empty halls
G 
Frameless head on nameless walls
A 
With eyes that watch the world
D 
and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met
Em 
The ragged men in ragged clothes
D 
G 
The silver thorn of bloody rose
A 
Lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow
D 
Em 
Now I think I know
A 
D 
What you tried to say to me
Bm 
D 
How you suffered for your sanity
Em 
A 
Bm 
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen
E 
They're not listening still,
Em 
A 
D 
Bm 
D 
Perhaps they never will.
