Verse 1:

        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD         E minorEm
Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey.

E minorEm      G+G         A7A7                D MajorD
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD        E minorEm
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodills,

E minorEm            G+G         A7A7            D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
catch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land.

Chorus:

      E minorEm  A7A7       D MajorD        B minorBm
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

             E minorEm       A7A7        B minorBm
how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.

                E MajorE       E minorEm A7A7         D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.

Verse 2:

        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD          E minorEm
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

E minorEm         G+G       A7A7                D MajorD
swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of chine blue.

        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD       E minorEm
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,

        G+G         A7A7                 D MajorD
weathered faces lined in pain are soothed 'neath the artists's loving hand.

Chorus:

      E minorEm  A7A7        D MajorD     B minorBm
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

             E minorEm     A7A7            B minorBm
how you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free.

                E MajorE       E minorEm A7A7         D MajorD
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.

Bridge:

          E minorEm    A7A7           D MajorD   B minorBm
For they could not love you and still your love was true

      E minorEm               G minorGm
and when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,

  D MajorD         C7C7      B7B7          E minorEm
you took your life as lovers often do, but I could have told you, Vincent,

   G+G             A7A7         D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Verse 3:

        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD        E minorEm
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,

E minorEm         G+G          A7A7                   D MajorD
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

               D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD       E minorEm
Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes,

E minorEm         G+G        A7A7                D MajorD
the silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow,

End-Chorus:

         E minorEm  A7A7        D MajorD      B minorBm
and now I think I know what you tried to say to me,

         E minorEm      A7A7                B minorBm
how you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free.

                  E7E7       E minorEm  A7A7
They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they'll never Outro: will.
