Vincent


              G                          Am
Starry starry nights, paint your palette blue and grey
              C                 D7                                G
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
                                               Am
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils
                         C                 D7                         G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colours on the snowy linen land  

           Am    D7                G      Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
                         Am7    D7                        Em
How you suffered for you sanityHow you tried to set them free
           A7                              Am7    D7                  G
They would not listen they did not know how    Perhaps they'll listen now

              G                            Am
Starry starry nights, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
                   C                      D7                      G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of chine blue
                                              Am
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
                      C           D7                                  G
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand   

           Am    D7                G       Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
                         Am7         D7                           Em
And how you suffered for your sanityHow you tried to set them free
           A7                              Am7    D7                  G
They would not listen they did not know how    Perhaps they'll listen now

                   Am7       D7                      G
For they could not love you, but still your love was true   
Em          Am7                             Cm
And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night
    G                 F7           E7        Am7
You took your life as lovers often do, but I could have told you, Vincent,
     C                                D7           G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

              G                               Am
Starry starry nights, portraits hung in empty halls
                   C                   D7                                  G
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
                                                             Am
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes
                         C         D7                               G
A silver thorn, a bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow    

    Am             D7                G      Em
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
                              Am7    D7                               Em
And how you suffered for your sanity    and how you tried to set them free
                             A7         Am7        
Would not listen they're not listening still   
D7                 G
Perhaps they never will
