Vincent

E
Starry, starry night
F#m
Paint your palette blue and grey
                A
Look out on a summer's day
        B                   E
With eyes that know the darkness of 
my soul
A                E
Shadows on the hill
                         F#m
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
                          A
Catch the breeze and the winter 
chills
     B
In colors on the snowy linen land

[Chorus]
E       F#m      B              
Now I understand what you tried 
     E        B C#m
to say to me
                             F#m B
How you suffered for your sanity
                          C#m
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen, they did not 
F#m          A
know how
B                          E
Perhaps they'll listen now

[Verse 2]
E
Starry, starry night
                 F#m
Flaming flowers brightly blaze
                       A
Swirling clouds in violet haze

B                             E
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china 
blue
           A              E
And the colors changing hue
          F#m
Morning fields of amber grain
                 A
Weathered faces lined in pain
     B                          
Are soothed beneath the artist's 
        E
loving hand

[Chorus]
E       F#m      B              
Now I understand what you tried 
     E        B C#m
to say to me
                             F#m B
How you suffered for your sanity
                          C#m
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen, they did not 
F#m          A
know how
B                          E
Perhaps they'll listen now

[Bridge]
                    F#m
For they could not love you
 B                  E     B C#m
Still your love was true
             A
How when no hope was left in sight
Am
On that starry, starry night
     E                             
You took your life, as lovers often
    C#m
 do
       F#m
But I could have told you, Vincent
A                                 
This world was never meant for one
                   E
 as beautiful as you

[Verse 3]
  E
Starry, starry night
                     F#m
Portraits hung in empty halls
                    D          A B
Frameless head on nameless walls
With eyes that watch the world and 
        E    A
can't forget
             A                  E
Like the strangers that you've met
                          F#m
Oh the ragged men in the ragged 
clothes
                           F#m A
And the silver thorn of bloody rose
     E            B          
Lies crushed and broken on the 
           E
virgin snow

[Otro]
E       F#m      B              
Now I understand what you tried 
     E        B C#m
to say to me
                             F#m B
How you suffered for your sanity
                          C#m
How you tried to set them free
They did not listen, they did not 
F#m          A
know how
B                          E
Perhaps they'll listen now
