G (320003@1)                                     
Starry, starry night, paint your palette
                      Am (x02210@1)                           CBlue (x32010@1)and grey, look out on a summer's day, 
D (xx0232@1)                        D (xx0232@1)             GWith (320003@1)eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G (320003@1)                 GShadows (320003@1)on the hills, 
C (x32010@1)                       AmSketch (x02210@1)the trees and daffodils
 C (x32010@1)                     AmCatch (x02210@1)the breeze and the winter chills 
D (xx0232@1)             D (xx0232@1)          GIn (320003@1)colours on the snowy linen land
G (320003@1)                     Am (x02210@1)     
And now I understand what you tried to 
G (320003@1)                     Am (x02210@1)           
Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity
       C (x32010@1)                      GHow (320003@1)you tried to set them free, 
C (x32010@1)                                       AmThey (x02210@1)would not listen, they did not know how
D (xx0232@1)                     GPerhaps (320003@1)they'll listen now

Verse 2
G (320003@1)                                     
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that      
               Am (x02210@1)                                    CBrightly (x32010@1)blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze
D (xx0232@1)                     D (xx0232@1)              GReflect (320003@1)in Vincent's eyes of China Blue
G (320003@1)                  GColours (320003@1)changing hue, 
C (x32010@1)                       AmMorning (x02210@1)fields of amber grain
C (x32010@1)                     AmWeathered (x02210@1)faces lined with pain 
D (xx0232@1)                           D (xx0232@1)      GAre (320003@1)soothed beneath the artists loving hand
G (320003@1)                Am (x02210@1) 
And now I understand what you tried to 
G (320003@1)                 Am (x02210@1)     
Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity
C (x32010@1)                       G (320003@1)  
How you tried to set them free, 
C (x32010@1)                               AmThey (x02210@1)would not listen, they did not know how,
D (xx0232@1)                     GPerhaps (320003@1)they'll listen now

Verse 3
  C (x32010@1)   
For they could not love you,
         C (x32010@1)            GBut (320003@1)still your love was true
C (x32010@1)                       
And when no hope was left in sight 
        
On that starry, starry night
        G (320003@1)             
You took your life as lovers often do
Am (x02210@1)                                         CBut (x32010@1)I could have told you, Vincent, this world was 
                         D (xx0232@1)         GNever (320003@1)meant for one as beautiful as you

Verse 4
G (320003@1)                                     
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
Am (x02210@1)            Am (x02210@1)           CFrameless (x32010@1)heads on nameless walls
D (xx0232@1)                     D (xx0232@1)               GWith (320003@1)eyes that watch the world and can't forget
G (320003@1)                             GLike (320003@1)the strangers that you've met
C (x32010@1)                       AmThe (x02210@1)ragged men in ragged clothes 
 C (x32010@1)                    AmThe (x02210@1)silver thorn, a bloody rose
D (xx0232@1)                      D (xx0232@1)         GLie (320003@1)crushed and broken on the virgin snow
G (320003@1)                        Am (x02210@1)      AmNow (x02210@1)I think I know, what you tried to 
G (320003@1)                     Am (x02210@1)             AmSay (x02210@1)to me, and how you suffered for your sanity
    C (x32010@1)                 GAnd (320003@1)how you tried to set them free, 
C (x32010@1)                                             AmThey (x02210@1)would not listen; they're not listening still,
D (xx0232@1)                  GPerhaps (320003@1)the never will
