[Verse]
G Starry starry night Am Paint your palette blue and grey C D7 G Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul Am Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils C D7 G Catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
C G Am D7 G Em Now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 D7 Em How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 D7 G They would not listen, they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse]
G Starry starry night Am Flaming flowers that brightly blaze C D7 G Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Am Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain C D7 G Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em Now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 D7 Em How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 D7 G They would not listen, they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
Am7 D7 G For they could not love you, but still your love was true Em Am7 Cm6 And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night G F7 E7 Am7 You took your life as lovers often do, but I could have told you Vincent C D7 G This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse]
G Starry starry night Am Portraits hung in empty halls C D7 G Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget Am Like the strangers that you’ve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes C D7 G The silver thorn, the bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em Now I think I know what you tried to say to me Am7 D7 Em How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 D7 G They would not listen, they’re not listening still perhaps they never will
