Starry, starry niGght
Paint your palette fisblue and grey
Look out on a suFmmer's day
With ceyes that know the darkness in my soGul
FShadows on the Ghills   F 
GSketch the trees and the dfisaffodils
fisCatch the breeze and the wFinter chills
In ccolors on the snowy linen laGnd F  G 
Now I ufisnderstand
c G B#m
What you tried to say to me
B#m fis
And how you suffered for your sanity
c B#m
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did nfisot know how
PerGhaps they'll listen Fnow  G 
Starry, starry nGightF 
GFlaming flowers thfisat brightly blaze
fisSwirling clouds in a viFolet haze
cReflect in Vincent's eyes of china blGue
FColors changing huGe  F  G 
GMorning fields of afismber grain
fisWeathered faces liFned in pain
Are scoothed beneath the artist's lGoving hand
Now I ufisnderstand
c G c B#m
What you tried to say to me
B#m fis
And how you suffered for your sanity
c B#m
How you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they did nfisot know how
PerGhaps they'll listen nGow
For they could not lfisove you
c G B#m
But still your love was true
B#m fis
And when no hope was left in sight
On that stFarry, starry night
G c B#m
You took your life, as lovers often do
But I could've tfisold you, Vincent
This wForld was never meant for one cas beaGutiful as yGou  F  G 
GStarry, starry nightF  G 
GPortraits hung in efismpty halls
fisFrameless heads on naFmeless walls
cWith eyes that watch the world and can't forGget
Like the sFtrangers that you've Gmet  F  G 
GThe ragged men in rafisgged clothes
fisThe silver thorn on the blFoody rose
Lie crcushed and broken on the virGgin snFow  G 
GNow I think I kfisnow
G c B#m
What you tried to say to me
B#m fis
And how you suffered for your sanity
fis B#m
And how you tried to set them free
They would not listen, they're not lfisistening still
G c B#m
Perhaps they never will
