G Am Starry Starry night paint your pallete blue and grey C D7 Look out on a summers day with eyes G Tha know the darkness in my soul Am Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils C Catch the breeze and the winter chill D7 G In colors on the snowy linen land Chorus: C G Am D7 G Em And now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for you sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 They would not listen the did not know how D7 G Perhaps they ʼll listen now G Am Starry starry nite flamings flowrʼs that brightly blaze C D7 Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect G In VIncents eyes of china blue Am Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber graing C Weatherd faces lined inpain D7 G Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand Chorus: C G Am D7 G Em And now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for you sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 They would not listen the did not know how D7 G Perhaps they ʼll listen now G Am7 D7 G For the could not love you but still your love was true Em Am7 Cm6 And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry nite G F7 E7 Am7 You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vinvent C D7 G This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you G Am Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls C D7 frameless heads on nameless walls with iʼs G That watch the world and cant forget like Am the strangers that youve met, the ragged men C In ragged clothes the silver thorn the bloody rose D7 G Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow Chorus: C G Am D7 G Em And now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 How you suffered for you sanity D7 Em How you tried to set them free A7 Am7 They would not listen the did not know how D7 G Perhaps they ʼll listen now C G Am D7 G Em And now I understand what you tried to say to me Am7 D7 How you suffered for you sanity Em How you tried to set them free A7 They would not listen theyre not listening still Am7 D7 Perhaps they never will
