| 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 under | stand | 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, | per | haps 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 under | stand | 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, | per | haps 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, | Per | haps they never will! |
