G Am
Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray
C D7 G
Look out on a summer�s day with eyes that know the darkness of my soul
G Am
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and daffodils
C G C G
Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land
Am D7 G D/F# Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Em Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7
They did not listen they did not know how
D7 G
Perhaps they�ll listen now
G Am
Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C D7 G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent�s eyes of China blue
G Am
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
C D7 G
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed �neath the artist�s loving hand
Am D7 G D/F# Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Em Am7 D7 Em
And how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7
They would not listen they did not know how
D7 G
Perhaps they�ll listen now
G Am7 D7 G D/F# Em
For they could not love you, but your love was true
Am7 Cm
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
G F7 E7
You took your life as lovers often do
Am7
But I could have told you, Vincent,
C D7
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
G Am
Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
C D7
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can�t forget
G Am
Like the strangers that you�ve met, the ragged man in ragged clothes
C D7 G
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Am D7 G D/F# Em
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
Em Am7 D7 Em
And how you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 D7
The would not listen they�re not listening still
G
Perhaps they never will
