Vincent

Don Mc Lean

G Gsus4 G Am
Starry Starry night Paint your pallete blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
Gsus4 G Am
Shadows on the hills Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C D7 G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colors on the snowy linen land.
C G Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they 'll listen now!
 
Starry starry night, Flaming flower's that brightly blaze, 
Swirling clouds in violet haze, Reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue. 
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber graing, 
Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand. 
C G Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they 'll listen now!
Bridge
G Am7 D7 G
For the could not love you but still your love was true
Em Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry nite
G F7 E7 Am7
You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vinvent
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
 
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls 
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget 
Like the strangers that youve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes 
The silver thorn and the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow 
C G Am D7 G Em
And now I think I know, what you tried to say to me,
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity, How you tried to set them free!
A7 Am7 D7
They would not listen, They're not listening still, Perhaps they never will!
