Verse 1
                     G    
Starry, starry  night,  
 Gsus4 G            Am 
paint your palette blue and grey
                 C                 
Look out on a summer's day, 
 D                                        G
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
                    G Gsus4 
Shadows on the hills,    
 G                       Am   
Sketch the trees and daffodils
                       C                
Catch the breeze and winter chills, 
 D                             G C G
in colors on the snowy linen land

[Chorus]
             Am      D7                   
And now I understand 
                 G         G/F# Em
what you tried to say to me,
                           Am      
How you suffered for your sanity, 
 D                          Em pause
how you tried to set them free,
                                      A         
They would not listen, they did not know how, 
 Am   D                 G  C  G
perhaps they'll listen now
 
[Verse 2]
                  G  Gsus4 
Starry, starry  night,   
 G                    Am       
flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
                    C            
Swirling clouds in violet haze 
 D                                    G
reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue
                     G  Gsus4 
Colors changing hue,     
 G                        Am          
Morning fields of amber grain
                C                   
Weathered faces lined in pain 
 D                                   G      C   G
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
 
[Chorus]
             Am      D7                   
And now I understand 
                        G  G/F# Em
what you tried to say to me,
                           Am      
How you suffered for your sanity,
 D                          Em pause 
how you tried to set them free,
                                      A         
They would not listen, they did not know how, 
 Am     D               G  C  G
perhaps they'll listen now
 
[Bridge]
                     Am     D7                          
For they could not love you, 
                          G  G/F# Em
but still your love was true
              Am pause                      
And when no hope was left in sight on that 
 Cm
starry, starry night,
      G                 F            E7
You took your life as lovers often do
        Am                                 C
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
                         D             G  C  G
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
 
[Verse 3]
                     G  Gsus4 
Starry, starry  night,      
 G                            Am          
portraits hung in empty halls,
                    C                   
Frameless heads on nameless walls 
        D                                  G
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
                                  G  Gsus4 G                        
Like the strangers that you've met   
                          Am           
The ragged men in ragged clothes
                       C                
The silver thorn of bloody rose, 
       D                               G  C  G
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
 
[Chorus]
                   Am  
And now I think I know 
 D                   G       G/F# Em
what you tried to say to me,
                           Am      
How you suffered for your sanity, 
 D                          Em pause
how you tried to set them free,
                                       A            
They would not listen, they're not listening still, 
 Am   D               G
perhaps they never will
