G                        Am
Starry Starry night paint your palette blue and gray
              C                D7                               G
Look out on a summer?s day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
                                      Am
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils
                         C               D7                        G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill 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     D7                           Em
How you suffered for you sanity     how you tried to set them free
                              A7          Am7   D7                   G
They would not listen the did not know how   perhaps they'll listen now

                     G                              Am
Starry starry night flaming flower?s that brightly blaze
           C                                   D7
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent?s eyes of
china blue
                                       Am
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
     D7                          G
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

chorus
          G                     Am7       D7                      G
{listen now}  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 night
    G                F7           E7       Am7
You took you life as lovers often do but I could of told you Vincent
     C                                D7           G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls

frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget

Like the strangers that you?ve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes

The silver thorn the bloody rose 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     D7                           Em
How you suffered for you sanity     how you tried to set them free
                                  A7               Am7   D7
They would not listen they?re not  listening still     perhaps they never will
