G Am C D Em A7 Cm F E7


               G
Starry, starry night
                  Am
Paint your pallet blue and grey
              C
Look out on a summerʼs 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    C G
In colours on the snowy linen land

Chorus:
                   Am    D
    And 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
                                    A7          Am
    They would not listen, they did not know how
    D                   G
    Perhaps they listen now

               G
Starry, starry night
                Am
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
                C
Swirling clouds in violet haze
D                                  G
Reflect in Vincentʼs eyes of china blue
 
                G
Colors changing hue
                  Am
Morning fields of amber grain
                C
Weathered faces lined in pain
D                                       G
Are soothed beneath the artistʼs loving hand

Chorus:
                   Am    D
    And 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
                                    A7          Am
    They would not listen, they did not know how
    D                   G
    Perhaps they listen now

Bridge:
                       Am       D
    For they could not love you
                            G    Em
    But still your love was true
                Am
    And when no hope was left in sight
            Cm
    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

               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 canʼt forget
 
                            G
Like the strangers that youʼve met
                  Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes
                      C
The silver thorn, the bloody rose
       D                             G
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Outro:
                      Am   D
    And now I think I know
                      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
                                         A7
    They would not listen, theyʼre not listening still
    Am    D          G
    Perhaps they never will
