Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A) Verse 1: F Fsus F Starry, starry night Gm Paint your palette blue and grey Bb Look out on a summer's day C7 F With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Fsus F Shadows on the hills Gm Sketch the trees and the daffodils Bb Catch the breeze and the winter chills C7 F Bb F In colors on the snowy linen land
Chorus: Gm C7 Now I understand F What you tried to say to me Dm Gm7 And how you suffered for your sanity C7 Dm And how you tried to set them free G7 Gm7 They would not listen, they did not know how C7 F Perhaps they'll listen now Verse 2: F Fsus F Starry, starry night Gm Flaming flowers that brightly blaze Bb Swirling clouds in violet haze C7 F Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue F Fsus F Colors changing hue Gm Morning fields of amber grain Bb Weathered faces lined in pain C7 F Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Chorus: Gm C7 Now I understand F What you tried to say to me Fm And how you suffered for your sanity C7 Dm And how you tried to set them free G7 Gm7 They would not listen, they did not know how C7 F Perhaps they'll listen now Bridge: Gm7 For they could not love you C7 F Eb D But still your love was true Gm7 And when no hope was left in sight Bbm On that starry, starry night F Eb7 D7 You took your life, as lovers often do Gm7 But I could have told you, Vincent Bb This world was never meant for one C7 F Fsus F As beautiful as you Verse 3: F Fsus F Starry, starry night Gm Portraits hung in empty halls Bb Frameless heads on nameless walls C7 F With eyes that watch the world and can't forget F Fsus F Like the strangers that you've met Gm The ragged men in the ragged clothes Bb The silver thorn; a bloody rose C7 F Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Outro: Gm Now I think I know C7 F What you tried to say to me Fm Gm7 And how you suffered for your sanity C7 Dm And how you tried to set them free G7 Gm7 They would not listen, they're not listening still C7 F Perhaps they never will
