[Verse 1]
C Fsus2* C Starry, starry night Dm Paint your palette blue and grey Fsus2 Look out on a summer's day G6sus4 C With eyes that know the darkness of my soul Fsus2 C Fsus2* C Shadows on the hill Dm Sketch the trees and the daffodils Fsus2 Catch the breeze and the winter chills G C In colors on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
Dm G C C/B Am7 Now I understand - what you tried to say to me Dm G How you suffered for your sanity Am7 How you tried to set them free Dm7 Fsus2 They did not listen, they did not know how G C Fsus2* C Perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse 2]
C Fsus2* C Starry, starry night Dm Flaming flowers brightly blaze Fsus2 Swirling clouds in violet haze G6sus4 C Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Fsus2 C Fsus2* C And the colors changing hue Dm Morning fields of amber grain Fsus2 Weathered faces lined in pain G C Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
C Dm G C C/B Am7 Now I understand - what you tried to say to me Dm G How you suffered for your sanity Am7 How you tried to set them free D Fsus2 They did not listen, they did not know how G C Perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
Dm G For they could not love you C G/B Am G6sus4 Still your love was true F And when no hope was left in sight Fm On that starry, starry night C C/B Am7 You took your life, as lovers often do Dm But I could have told you, Vincent Fsus2 G C Fsus2* C This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse 3]
C Fsus2* C Starry, starry night Dm Portraits hung in empty halls Fsus2 Frameless heads on nameless walls G6sus4 C With eyes that watch the world and can't forget Fsus2 C Fsus2* C Like the strangers that you've met Dm Oh the ragged men in ragged clothes Fsus2 And the silver thorn of a bloody rose G5 C Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Outro]
Dm G C C/B Am7 And now I think I know - what you tried to say to me Dm G How you suffered for your sanity Am7 And how you tried to set them free D Fsus2 They did not listen, they're not listening still G C Perhaps they never will
