** This was submitted, just to correct some lyrical errors ** Vincent By Don Mclean Verse 1 G Starry, starry night, paint your palette Am C Blue and grey, look out on a summer's day, D D G With eyes that know the darkness in my soul G G Shadows on the hills, C Am Sketch the trees and daffodils C Am Catch the breeze and the winter chills D D G In colours on the snowy linen land G Am And now I understand what you tried to G Am Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity C G How you tried to set them free, C Am They would not listen, they did not know how D G Perhaps they'll listen now Verse 2 G Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that Am C Brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze D D G Reflect in Vincent?s eyes of China Blue G G Colours changing hue, C Am Morning fields of amber grain C Am Weathered faces lined with pain D D G Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand G Am And now I understand what you tried to G Am Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity C G How you tried to set them free, C Am They would not listen, they did not know how, D G Perhaps they'll listen now Verse 3 C For they could not love you, C G But still your love was true C And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night G You took your life as lovers often do Am C But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was D G Never meant for one as beautiful as you Verse 4 G Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls Am Am C Frameless heads on nameless walls D D G With eyes that watch the world and can?t forget G G Like the strangers that you?ve met C Am The ragged men in ragged clothes C Am The silver thorn, a bloody rose D D G Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow G Am Am Now I think I know, what you tried to G Am Am Say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity C G And how you tried to set them free, C Am They would not listen; they?re not listening still, D G Perhaps the never will?
