[INTRO] B
[VERSE 1]
B
Starry, starry night
C#m
Paint your palette blue and grey
E
Look out on a summer's day
F# B
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
E B E B
Shadows on the hills
C#m
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
E
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
F# B E B
In colors on the snowy linen land
[CHORUS]
C#m F#
Now I understand
B Bmaj7 Abm
What you tried to say to me
C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F# Abm
And how you tried to set them free
C# C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
# B E B
Perhaps they'll listen now
[VERSE 2]
B E B
Starry, starry night
C#m
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C#m E
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
F# B
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
E B E B
Colors changing hue
B C#m
Morning fields of amber grain
E
Weathered faces lined in pain
F# B
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

What you tried to say to me
C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F# Abm
And how you tried to set them free
C# C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
# B E B
Perhaps they'll listen now
[BRIDGE]
C#m F#
For they could not love you
B Bmaj7 Abm
But still your love was true
C#m
And when no hope was left in sight
E
On that starry, starry night
B Bmaj7 Abm
You took your life, as lovers often do
C#m
But I could've told you, Vincent
E F# B E B
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[VERSE 3]
B E B
Starry, starry night
C#m
Portraits hung in empty halls
E
Frameless heads on nameless walls
F# B
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
E B E B
Like the strangers that you've met
B C#m
The ragged men in ragged clothes
E
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
F# B E B
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[OUTRO]
B C#m F#
Now I think I know
F# B Bmaj7 Abm
What you tried to say to me
C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F# Abm
And how you tried to set them free
C# C#m
They would not listen, they're not listening still
C#m B Bmaj7 Abm C#m F# B E B
Perhaps they never will
