Verse 1
Starry, starry (G major) night (C major) (G major)
Paint your palette (A minor) blue and gray
Look out on a (C major) summer's day
With (D major) eyes that know the darkness in my (G major) soul
Verse 2
Shadows on the hills (G major) (C major) (G major)
Sketch the trees (A minor) and the daffodils
Catch the breeze (C major) and the winter chills
In (D major) colors on the snowy, linen land (G major) (C major) (G major)

Chorus 1
Now, I under (A minor) stand (D major)
what you tried to (G major) say to (B minor) me
(E minor) And how you suffered for your (A minor) sanity
(D major) And how you tried to set them (E minor) free
They would not listen, they did (A major) not know how
(A minor) Per (D major) haps they'll listen (G major) now
Verse 3
Starry, starry night (G major) (C major) (G major)
Flaming flowers (A minor) that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in (C major) violet haze
Re (D major) flect in Vincent's eyes of china (G major) blue
Verse 4
Colors changing (G major) hue (C major) (G major)
Morning fields of (A minor) amber grain
Weathered faces (C major) lined in pain
Are (D major) soothed beneath the artist's loving (G major) hand
Chorus 2
Now, I under (A minor) stand (D major)
what you tried to (G major) say to (B minor) me
(E minor) And how you suffered for your (A minor) sanity
(D major) And how you tried to set them (E minor) free
They would not listen, they did (A major) not know how
(A minor) Per (D major) haps they'll listen (G major) now
Bridge 1
For they could not (A minor) love you
(D major) But still your love was (G major) true (B minor)
(E minor) And when no (A minor) hope was left inside
On that (C minor) starry, starry, night
You (G major) took your life as (F major) lovers often (E major) do
But I (A minor) could have told you, Vincent
(C major) This world was never (C major) meant for one
As (D major) beautiful as (G major) you
Verse 5
Starry, starry night (G major) (C major) (G major)
Portraits hung in (A minor) empty halls
Frameless heads on (C major) nameless walls
With (D major) eyes that watch the world
and can't for (G major) get
Verse 6
Like the strangers that you've (G major) met (C major)
The (G major) ragged men in (A minor) ragged clothes
The silver thorn of (C major) bloody rose
Lie (D major) crushed and broken on the virgin (G major) snow
Chorus 3
Now, I think I (A minor) know (D major)
what you tried to (G major) say to (B minor) me
(E minor) And how you suffered for your (A minor) sanity
(D major) And how you tried to set them (E minor) free
They would not listen,
they're not (A major) listening still
(A minor) Perhaps (D major) they never (G major) will
(G major) (G major)
