Vincent

              G                
Starry starry night, paint your 
         Am
palette blue and grey
              C                 D7
Look out on a summer's day with 
                                G
eyes that know the darkness in my 
soul
Shadows on hills sketch the trees 
    Am
and daffodils
                         C     
Catch the breeze and the winter 
          D7                       
chill in colors on the snowy linen 
 G
land

C   G

[Chorus]
                 Am  D7           
And now I understand  what you 
     G           Em
tried to say to me
                          Am7     
How you suffered for your sanity  
D7                           Em
   How you tried to set them free
                                A7 
They would not listen, they did not
         Am7   D7                  
 know how,  perhaps they'll listen 
G
now

[Verse 2]
                G                  
Starry starry night, flaming 
       Am
flowers that brightly blaze

               C              
Swirling clouds in violet haze 
  D7                               
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china 
 G
blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields 
  Am
of amber grain
                         C       
Weathered faces lined in pain are 
        D7                        
soothed beneath the artist's loving 
G
hand

C   G

[Chorus]
          G                     
(listen now)  For the could not 
Am7       D7                      
love you  but still, your love was 
G
true
            Em             Am7    
And when no hope was left in sight
           Cm6
 on that starry, starry night
    G                 F7           
You took your life as lovers often 
E7                  Am7
do but I could have told you Vincent
     C                             
This world was never meant for one 
    D7           G
as beautiful as you

[Verse 3]
                 G                 
Starry starry night, portraits hung
      Am
 in empty halls
                     C           
Frameless heads on nameless walls 
        D7
with eyes that
                              G
watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met, 
                   Am
the ragged men in ragged clothes
                         C         
The silver thorn, the bloody rose, 
      D7                      
lies crushed and broken on the 
  G
virgin snow

C   G

[Chorus]
                  Am  D7      
And now I understand   what you 
              G           Em
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
 listening still,   perhaps
            G
they never will
