Verse 1
Starry, starry
G
night, paint your pallet
Am
blue and grey
Look out on a
C
summers day, With
D7
eyes that
know the darkness in my
G
soul, Shadows on the
G
hills,
sketch the trees and the daffo
Am
dils, And catch the breeze and
C
winter chills, In
D7
colors on the snowy linen
G
land
C
G
,
Now I under
Am
stand,
what you
D7
tried to
G
say to
Em
me, How you suffered for your
Am7
sanity
How you
D7
tried to set them
Em
free, They would not listen, they
A7
did not know
Am7
how, Per
D7
haps theyll listen
G
now
Starry, starry
G
night, flaming flowers that
Am
brightly blaze
Swirling
C
colors of violet haze, Re
D7
flect in Vincents
eyes of china
G
blue, Colors changing
G
hue,
morning fields of amber
Am
grain, Weathered
C
faces lined in pain
Are
D7
soothed beneath, the artists loving
G
hand
C
G
Now I under
Am
stand, .
what you
D7
tried to
G
say to
Em
me, How you suffered for your
Am7
sanity
How you
D7
tried to set them
Em
free, They would not listen, they
A7
did not know
Am7
how, Per
D7
haps theyll listen
G
now
For they could not
Am7
love you, but
D7
still your love was
G
true
And
Em
when no hope was,
Am7
left in sight on that
Cm6
starry, starry night, You
G
took your life as
F7
lovers often
E7
do, I
Am7
could have told you Vincent,
This
C
world was never meant for one as,
D7
beautiful as
G
you
Starry, starry
G
night, portraits hung in
Am
empty halls
Frameless heads on
C
nameless walls, With
D7
eyes that watch the world
and cant
G
forget, Like the stranger that youve
G
met,
the ragged man in
Am
ragged clothes, The silver thorn of
C
bloody rose
Lies
D7
crushed and, broken on the virgin
G
snow
C
G
Now I
Am
think I know,
D7
what you try to
G
say to
Em
me
How you suffered for your
Am7
sanity, How you
D7
tried to set them
Em
free
They would not
A7
listen, theyre not listening
Am7
still
Per
D7
haps they never
G
will
