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



[Chorus]
G           Am
Now I understand
D                  G      D
What you tried to say to me
Em                              Am
And how you suffered for your sanity
D                              Em
And how you tried to set them free
                                      A       C
They would not listen, they did not know how
 D                       G Am G
Perhaps they'll listen now

[Verse 2]
G               G   Am
Starry, starry night
G                      Am           Bm
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Am                      C
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
   D                                 G
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
                 Am G
Colors changing hue
                    Am
Morning fields of amber grain
                  C
Weathered faces lined in pain
     D                                   G   Am  G
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand


[Chorus]
G           Am   C
Now I understand
D                  G     D
What you tried to say to me
Em                             Am
And how you suffered for your sanity
D                              Em
And how you tried to set them free
                                 Am          C
They would not listen, they did not know how
D                       G   Am G
Perhaps they'll listen now

[Bridge]
                    Am      C
For they could not love you
D                       G     D Em
But still your love was true
             Am
And when no hope was left in sight
          Cm
On that starry, starry night
     G                              Em
You took your life, as lovers often do
               Am
But I could've told you, Vincent
      C                                D            G  Am G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you


[Verse 3]
G                    Am
Starry, starry night
 G                 Am
Portraits hung in empty halls
Am                    C
Frameless heads on nameless walls
      D                                    G
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
G                               Am  G
Like the strangers that you've met
     G               Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes
                         C
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
       D                              G   Am G
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

[Outro]
G           Am     C
Now I think I know
D                  G      D Bm
What you tried to say to me
Em                              Am
And how you suffered for your sanity
D                              Em
And how you tried to set them free
                                    A
They would not listen, they're not listening still
C        D          G   Am G
Perhaps they never will
