Vincent Starry Starry Night chords by Don Mclean

Chords with lyrics

Hey Guys, I just fixed up an existing tab, purely because the second and third verses did not have the
chords, and when playing live (if you have not played it before) its good to have the chords throughout the
tab!


Verse 1:

Starry Starry
G+G            A minorAm
night paint your pallete blue and grey
       C majorC        D7D7                G+G
Look out on a summers day with eyes tha know the darkness in my soul
                   A minorAm
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils
             C majorC        D7D7             G+G - C majorC - G+G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linen land

Chorus:

       A minorAm   D7D7          G+G      E minorEm
And now I understand   what you tried to say to me
             Am7Am7   D7D7              E minorEm
How you suffered for you sanity   How you tried to set them free
               A7A7     Am7Am7 - D7D7          G+G
They would not listen the did not know how  perhaps they 'll listen now


Verse 2:

Starry Starry
 G+G          A minorAm
night flamings flowers that brightly blaze
         C majorC      D7D7                G+G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
                   A minorAm
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grey
        C majorC          D7D7                 G+G - C majorC - G+G
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


Extended Chorus:

G+G         Am7Am7   D7D7            G+G - E minorEm
For the could not love you, but still your love was true
      Am7Am7              Cm6Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
  G+G        F7F7      E7E7     Am7Am7
You took you life as lovers often do, But I could of told you Vincent
   C majorC                D7D7      G+G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Verse 3:

Starry Starry
G+G            A minorAm
night portraits hung in empty halls
          C majorC          D7D7                 G+G
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget
                          A minorAm
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
           C majorC        D7D7                G+G - C majorC - G+G
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow


Final Chorus:

        A minorAm   D7D7          G+G     E minorEm
And now I understand   what you tried to say to me
             Am7Am7   D7D7              E minorEm
How you suffered for you sanity   How you tried to set them free
                 A7A7        Am7Am7  D7D7        G+G
They would not listen theyre not listening still   perhaps they never will
