Chords
[Verse 1]
Starry
Starry night G
Paint your paletteAsus2 blue and grey
Look out on a Cmaj7summer's day
With eyesD7 that know the
Darkness in my Gsoul.
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees Asus2and the daffodils
Catch the breeze Cmaj7and the winter chills
In D7colors on the snowy linen land. G
[Chorus]
Now I underAsus2stand D7 what you tried Gto say to me
Em7 How you suffered for yourAm sanity
D7 And how you tried to set them Emfree.
They would not listen
They did A7not know how
Am7 D7 Perhaps they'll listenG now.
Starry
Starry night G
[Verse 2]
Flaming flo'rsAsus2 that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds Cmaj7in violet haze refD7lect in
Vincent's eyes of China Gblue.
Colors changing Ghue
Morning fields Asus2of amber grain
Am Weathered facesCmaj7 lined in pain
D7Are soothed beneath the artist's
Loving Ghand.
[Chorus]
Now I underAsus2stand Am D7 what you tried to Gsay to me Em7
How you suffered for Am7your sanity D7
How you tried to set them Emfree.
They'll would not listen they did A7not know how
Am7 PerhapsD7 they'll listen Gnow.
For they could not loveAm you
D7 But still your love was true G G/F#
Em And when no Amhope was left in sight on that Cmstarry
Starry night.
You Gtook your life As F
lovers oftenE7 do;
But IAm could have told you
Vincent
Cmaj7This world was never
Meant for one
AsD7 beautiful as Gyou.
Starry
Starry night G
[Verse 3]
Portraits hung inAsus2 empty halls
Frameless heads Cmaj7on nameless walls
D7With eyes
That watch the world and can't forGget.
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men inAsus2 ragged clothes
Am The silver thorn ofCmaj7 bloody rose
Lie D7crushed and broken
On the virgin Gsnow.
[Chorus]
Now I think I AmknowD what you tried to Gsay toG/F# me Em
How you suffered for yourAm sanity D7
How you tried to set them Emfree.
They would not listen
They're not
A7List'ning still
Am7 PerD7haps they neverG will.
