Chords with lyrics
INTRO: BB
VERSE 1:
BB
Starry, starry night
C# minorC#m
Paint your palette blue and grey
E MajorE
Look out on a summer's day
F#F# BB
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB
Shadows on the hills
C# minorC#m
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
E MajorE
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
F#F# BB E MajorE BB
In colors on the snowy linen land
CHORUS:
C# minorC#m F#F#
Now I understand
BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm
What you tried to say to me
C# minorC#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#F# AbmAbm
And how you tried to set them free
C#C# C# minorC#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
# BB E MajorE BB
Perhaps they'll listen now
VERSE 2:
BB E MajorE BB
Starry, starry night
C# minorC#m
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C# minorC#m E MajorE
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
F#F# BB
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB
Colors changing hue
BB C# minorC#m
Morning fields of amber grain
E MajorE
Weathered faces lined in pain
F#F# BB
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
CHORUS:
C# minorC#m F#F#
Now I understand
BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm
What you tried to say to me
C# minorC#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#F# AbmAbm
And how you tried to set them free
C#C# C# minorC#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
# BB E MajorE BB
Perhaps they'll listen now
BRIDGE:
C# minorC#m F#F#
For they could not love you
BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm
But still your love was true
C# minorC#m
And when no hope was left in sight
E MajorE
On that starry, starry night
BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm
You took your life, as lovers often do
C# minorC#m
But I could've told you, Vincent
E MajorE F#F# BB E MajorE BB
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
VERSE 3:
BB E MajorE BB
Starry, starry night
C# minorC#m
Portraits hung in empty halls
E MajorE
Frameless heads on nameless walls
F#F# BB
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
E MajorE BB E MajorE BB
Like the strangers that you've met
BB C# minorC#m
The ragged men in ragged clothes
E MajorE
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
F#F# BB E MajorE BB
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
OUTRO:
BB C# minorC#m F#F#
Now I think I know
F#F# BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm
What you tried to say to me
C# minorC#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#F# AbmAbm
And how you tried to set them free
C#C# C# minorC#m
They would not listen, they're not listening still
C# minorC#m BB BMaj7Bmaj7 AbmAbm C# minorC#m F#F# BB E MajorE BB
Perhaps they never will
