[verse 1] G Starry, starry night Am Paint your pallet blue and grey C Look out on a summer's day D7 G with eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills, Am sketch the trees and the daffodils C Catch the breeze and the winter chills, D7 G C G in colours on the snowy linen land [chorus] Am And now I understand D7 G Em what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for your sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did A7 Am7 D7 G not know how perhaps they listen now [verse 2] G Starry, starry night Am Flaming flowers that brightly blaze C Swirling clouds in violet haze D7 G reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue Colors changing hue, Am morning fields of amber grain C Weathered faces lined in pain, D7 are soothed beneath the artist's G loving hand [chorus] Am And now I understand D7 G Em what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for your sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they did A7 Am7 D7 G not know how perhaps they listen now [extended chorus] Am7 D7 For they could not love you, G Em but still your love was true Am7 And when no hope was left in sight on that Cm6 starry, starry night G F7 E7 You took your life as lovers often do, Am7 But I could have told you Vincent C This world was never meant for one as D7 G beautiful as you [verse 3] G Starry, starry night Am Portraits hung in empty halls C Frameless heads on nameless walls, D7 with eyes that watch the world and G can't forget Like the strangers that you've met, Am the ragged men in ragged clothes C The silver thorn, the bloody rose, lie D7 G crushed and broken on the virgin snow [final chorus] Am And now I think I know D7 G Em what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for your sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free They would not listen, they're not A7 Am7 D7 G listening still perhaps they never will
