                 C
Starry, starry night
                   Dm
Paint your palette blue and gray
               F
Look out on a summer's day
      G7                               C
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
                 C
Shadows on the hills
                          Dm
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
                          F
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
    G7                        C
In colors on the snowy linen land

             Dm  G7
Now I understand
                    C     Am
What you tried to say to me
                              Dm     G7
And how you suffered for your sanity
                                Am
And how you tried to set them free
                                 D          G7
They would not listen, they did not know how
                        C
Perhaps they'll listen now

                  C
Starry, starry night
                     Dm
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
                    F
Swirling clouds in violet haze

  G7                              C
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
                 C
Colors changing hue
                   Dm
Morning fields of amber grain
                   F
Weathered faces lined in pain
       G7                              C
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

             Dm  G7
Now I understand
                    C     Am
What you tried to say to me
                              Dm     G7
And how you suffered for your sanity
                                Am
And how you tried to set them free
                                 D          G7
They would not listen, they did not know how
                        C
Perhaps they'll listen now

                     Dm
For they could not love you
G7                         C    Am
   But still your love was true
             Dm
And when no hope was left in sight
          F
On that starry, starry night
     C                              A7
You took your life, as lovers often do
                 Dm
But I could have told you, Vincent
      F
This world was never meant for one
  G7               C
As beautiful as you

              C
Starry, starry night
                   Dm
Portraits hung in empty halls
                     F
Frameless heads on nameless walls
      G7                                    C
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
                                C
Like the strangers that you've met
                        Dm
The ragged men in the ragged clothes
                     F
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
       G7                             C
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

             Dm    G7
Now I think I know
                   C         Am
What you tried to say to me
                             Dm     G7
And how you suffered for your sanity
                                  Am
And how you tried to set them free

                                   D7            G7
They would not listen, they're not listening still
                    C
Perhaps they never will
