Capo III

Verse 1:
       D MajorD             E minorEm
Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray,
       G+G
look out on a summer's day
   A augmentedA                 D MajorD
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.


Verse 2:
        D MajorD                E minorEm
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils,
             G+G
catch the breeze and the winter chills
  A augmentedA             D MajorD
in colors on the snowy linen land.

Chorus:
      E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Now I understand  what you tried to say to me,
             G+G    A augmentedA
how you suffered for your sanity,
             D MajorD
how you tried to set them free.
                E minorEm      A augmentedA
They would not listen they did not know how.
            D MajorD
perhaps they'll listen now .


Verse 3:
       D MajorD              E minorEm
Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
          G+G
swirling clouds in violet haze
 A augmentedA                D MajorD
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.


Verse 4:
        D MajorD           E minorEm
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
        G+G
weathered faces lined in pain
  A augmentedA                  D MajorD
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

Chorus:
      E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Now I understand  what you tried to say to me,
             G+G    A augmentedA
how you suffered for your sanity,
             D MajorD
how you tried to set them free.
                E minorEm      A augmentedA
They would not listen they did not know how.
            D MajorD
perhaps they'll listen now.


Bridge:
          E minorEm    A augmentedA             D MajorD  A augmentedA B minorBm
For they could not love you,  but still your love was true,
      G+G              A#A#
and when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night
       D MajorD          B7B7
you took your life as lovers often do,
         E minorEm
but I could have told you Vincent,
   A augmentedA                A7A7      D MajorD  G+G D MajorD
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.


Verse 5:
       D MajorD            E minorEm
Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
          G+G
frameless heads on nameless walls
   A augmentedA                  D MajorD
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.


Verse 6:
                D MajorD           E minorEm
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes,
          G+G
the silver thorn of bloody rose
  A augmentedA                D MajorD
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.


Outro:
       E minorEm  A augmentedA          D MajorD
Now I think I know  what you tried to say to me,
             E minorEm   A augmentedA              D MajorD
how you suffered for your sanity,  how you tried to set them free.
                      G+G     A augmentedA       D MajorD
They did not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will.
