D G Starry, starry nightAm Paint your palette blue and grayC Look out on a summer's dayD G With eyes that know the darkness in my soulG Shadows on the hillsAm Sketch the trees and the daffodilsC Catch the breeze and the winter chillsD G In colours on the snowy linen land [Chorus]Em Am D Now I understandG What you tried to say to meAm D How you suffered for your sanityG How you tried to set them freeAm They would not listen, they did not know howC D G Perhaps they'll listen now [Verse 2]D G Starry, starry nightAm Flaming flowers that brightly blazeContinues after the adC Swirling clouds in violet hazeD G Reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blueD G Colours changing hueAm Morning fields of amber grainC Weathered faces lined in painD G Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand [Chorus]Em Am D Oh, now I understandG What you tried to say to meAm D How you suffered for your sanityG How you tried to set them freeAm They would not listen, they did not know howC D G Perhaps they'll listen now [Bridge]Em C D For they could not love you, love youG Em But still your love was trueAm D And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry nightBm D G You took your life as lovers often doC But I could have told you, VincentEm Am D G This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you [Verse 3]D G Oh, starry, starry nightAm Portraits hung in empty hallsC Frameless heads on nameless wallsD G With eyes that watch the world and can't forgetD G Like the strangers that you've metAm The ragged men in ragged clothesC The silver thorn of a bloody roseD G Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow [Chorus]Em Am D Now I think I knowG Oh, what you tried to say to meC How you suffered for your sanityD G How you tried to set them freeAm They would not listen, they're not listening stillD G Perhaps they never will
