Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

G+G           C majorC G+G
Starry, starry night,

G+G
paint your palette

A minorAm
Blue and grey,

A minorAm      C majorC
Look out on a summer's day,

   D MajorD                 G+G
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

G+G           C majorC G+G
Shadows on the hills,

G+G            A minorAm
Sketch the trees and the daffodills

A minorAm            C majorC
Catch the breeze and the winter chills, in

D MajorD             G+G C majorC G+G
colors on the snowy linen land

Chorus:

G+G       A minorAm  D MajorD
Now I under stand

          G+G  D MajorD  E minorEm
what you tried to say to me

E minorEm              A minorAm   D MajorD
and how you suffered for your sanity

             E minorEm
How you tried to set them free,

E minorEm                    A minorAm  D MajorD
they would not listen, they did not know how,

           G+G
Perhaps they'll listen now

Verse 2:

G+G         C majorC G+G
Starry, starry night,

G+G         A minorAm
portraits hung in empty halls

A minorAm        C majorC
framless heads on nameless walls

D MajorD                   G+G
with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget

G+G
Like the strangers that you’ve met

G+G         A minorAm
The ragged men in ragged clothes

A minorAm        C majorC
A augmentedA silver thorn, a bloody rose, lie

D MajorD         D MajorD      G+G
Crushed and broken on the virgin snow


G+G         A minorAm  D MajorD
And now I think I know,

D MajorD         G+G D MajorD  E minorEm
what you tried to say to me,

E minorEm            A minorAm   D MajorD
how you suffered for your sanity

D MajorD             E minorEm
How you tried to set them free,

E minorEm                       C majorC
They would not listen, they’re not listening still,

  D MajorD        G+G
Perhaps the never....will


Bridge:

E minorEm         A minorAm    D MajorD
For they could not love you,

D MajorD            G+G D MajorD E minorEm
but still your love was true

E minorEm     A minorAm
And when no hope was left in sight

    C majorC
On that starry, starry night, you

G+G         A minorAm      E MajorE
took your life as lovers often do

  A minorAm               C majorC
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was

C majorC           D MajorD      G+G C majorC G+G
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
