Tom: D5 D5 E5 1. Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray, G5 look out on a summer's day A5 D5 with eyes that know the darkness in my soul. D5 E5 2. Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils, G5 catch the breeze and the winter chills A5 D5 in colors on the snowy linen land. E5 - A5 D5 Now I understand what you tried to say to me, G5 - A5 how you suffered for your sanity, D5 how you tried to set them free. E5 - A5 They would not listen they did not know how. D5 perhaps they'll listen now . D5 E5 3. Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze, G5 swirling clouds in violet haze A5 D5 reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue. D5 E5 4. Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain, G5 weathered faces lined in pain A5 D5 are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. + REFR. E5 - A5 D5 - A5 - B5 For they could not love you, but still your love was true, G5 Bb5 and when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night D5 B5 you took your life as lovers often do, E5 but I could have told you Vincent, A5 A5 D5 - G5 - D5 this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you. D5 E5 5. Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls, G5 frameless heads on nameless walls A5 D5 with eyes that watch the world and can't forget. D5 E5 6. Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes, G5 the silver thorn of bloody rose A5 D5 lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow. E5 - A5 D5 Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, E5 - A5 D5 how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free. G5 A5 D5 They did not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will.
