Chords

[Verse 1]
G
[tab]                   Am
Paint your palette blue and gray

              C
Look out on a summer's day

     D                                 G
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

               G
Shadows on the hills

                         Am
Sketch the trees and the daffodils

                         C
Catch the breeze and the winter chills

   D                          G
In colours on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
            Am    D
Now I understand

                  G         Em
What you tried to say to me

                          Am     D
How you suffered for your sanity

                           Em
How you tried to set them free

                                Am           D
They would not listen, they did not know how

                       G
Perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse 2]
G
Starry, starry night

                     Am
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze

                   C
Swirling clouds in violet haze

   D                                G
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue

 G
Colours changing hue

                  Am
Morning fields of amber grain

                C
Weathered faces lined in pain

     D                                   G
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
                Am    D
Oh, now I understand

                  G          Em
What you tried to say to me

                          Am      D
How you suffered for your sanity

                           Em
How you tried to set them free

                                Am            D
They would not listen, they did not know how

                       G
Perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
                   Am             D
For they could not love you, love you

                        G     Em
But still your love was true

            Am                              Cm
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night

    G                 (F)          E7
You took your life as lovers often do

       Am
But I could have told you, Vincent

     C                                D            G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you, Oh
[Verse 3]
 G
Starry, starry night

                  Am
Portraits hung in empty halls

                   C
Frameless heads on nameless walls

     D                                      G
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget

                                G
Like the strangers that you've met

                  Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes

                       C
The silver thorn of a bloody rose

     D                                G
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
               Am   D
Now I think I know

                      G         Em
Oh, what you tried to say to me

                          Am      D
How you suffered for your sanity

                           Em
How you tried to set them free

                                Am
They would not listen, they're not listening still

D                  G
Perhaps they never will
