Starry starry G night Gsus4 G paint your palette Am blue and grey
Look out on a C summer's day with D eyes that know the darkness in my G soul
Shadows on the G hills Gsus4 G sketch the trees and the Am daffodils
Catch the breeze and the C winter chills
In D colours on the snowy linen G land C G
Now I underAmstand Am6 what you tried to G say to Gmaj7 me Em7
How you suffered for you Am sanity Am6 and how you tried to set them Em free
They would not listen they did A not know how Am
PerAm6haps they'll listen G now
Starry starry G night Gsus4 G flaming flowers that Am brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in C violet haze reDflect in Vincent's eyes of china G blue
Colors changing G hue Gsus4 G morning fields of Am amber grain
Weathered faces C lined in pain
Are D soothed beneath the artist’s loving G hand C G
Now I underAmstand Am6 what you tried to G say to Gmaj7 me Em7
How you suffered for you Am sanity Am6 and how you tried to set them Em free
They would not listen they did A not know how Am
PerAm6haps they'll listen G now
For they could not Am love you Am6 but still your love was G true Gmaj7 Em7
And when no Am hope was left in sight on that Cm starry starry night
You G took your life as F7 lovers often E7 do
But I Am could have told you Vincent
This C world was never meant for one as D beautiful as you G C G
Starry starry G night Gsus4 G portraits hung in Am empty halls
Frameless heads on C nameless walls
With D eyes that watch the world and can't forGget
Like the stranger that you've G met Gsus4 G the ragged man in Am ragged clothes
The silver thorn of C bloody rose lies D crushed and broken on the virgin G snow
Now I think I Am know Am6 what you tried to G say to Gmaj7 me Em7
And how you suffered for you Am sanity Am6 how you tried to set them Em free
They would not listen they're not A listening still Am
PerAm6haps they never G will C G
