Capo III

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


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

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


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


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


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


Bridge:
          Em    A             D  A Bm
For they could not love you,  but still your love was true,
      G              A#
and when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night
       D          B7
you took your life as lovers often do,
         Em
but I could have told you Vincent,
   A                A7      D  G D
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.


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


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


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