                    G    Gsus4 G 
Starry, starry  night,   paint 
                   Am
your palette blue and grey
                C               
Look out on a summer's day, with 
  D                              
eyes that know the darkness in my 
  G
soul
                   G Gsus4 G     
Shadows on the hills,       
                  Am
Sketch the trees and daffodils
                      C            
Catch the breeze and winter chills,
    D                             G
 in colors on the snowy linen land

[Chorus]
            Am      D             
And now I understand what you 
      G         G/F# Em
tried to say to me,
                          Am      
How you suffered for your sanity, 
D                          Em
how you tried to set them free,
They would not listen, they did not 
 A         Am     D              
know how, perhaps they'll listen 
   G
now

[Verse 2]
                        G  
Starry, starry  night,          
Gsus4 G                    Am
flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
                   C          
Swirling clouds in violet haze 
  D                                
reflecting Vincent's eyes of china 
    G
blue

Colors changing hue,             
                     Am
  Morning fields of amber grain
               C                 
Weathered faces lined in pain are 
  D                                
soothed beneath the artist's loving
   G
 hand

[Chorus]
            Am      D             
And now I understand what you 
      G       G/F# Em
tried to say to me,
                          Am      
How you suffered for your sanity, 
D                          Em
how you tried to set them free,
They would not listen, they did not 
 A         Am     D               G
know how, perhaps they'll listen now

[Bridge]
                    Am     D   
For they could not love you, but 
                       G       
still your love was true
G/F#          Em

             Am                    
And when no hope was left in sight 
         Cm
on that starry, starry night,
     G                 F          
You took your life as lovers often

 do
       Am                          
But I could have told you, Vincent,
       C
 this world was
                        D          
Never meant for one as beautiful as
   G
 you

[Verse 3]
                    G  Gsus4 G   
Starry, starry  night,           
                              Am
     portraits hung in empty halls,
                   C             
Frameless heads on nameless walls 
      D                            
with eyes that watch the world and 
      G
can't forget
                                 G 
Like the strangers that you've met 
 Gsus4 G                     
             The ragged men in 
   Am
ragged clothes
                      C            
The silver thorn of bloody rose, 
    D                              
lie crushed and broken on the 
 G
virgin snow

[Chorus]
                  Am  D       
And now I think I know what you 
            G       G/F# Em
tried to say to me,
                          Am      
How you suffered for your sanity, 
D                          Em
how you tried to set them free,
They would not listen, they're not 
   A            Am   D           
listening still, perhaps they 
    G
never will
