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
