Starry, starry [/] [G] night [Gsus4] .... [/] [G] .... paint your palette [/] [Am] blue and grey [Am9] .... [/]   
[/] [Am] .... [Am9] Look out on a [/] [C] summer's day [Cmaj7] .. with [/] [D7] eyes that know the darkness in my [/] [G] soul
Shadows on the [/] [G] hills [Gsus4] .... [/] [G] .... Sketch the trees and [/] [Am] daffodils [Am9] .... [/]    
[/] [Am] .... [Am9] Catch the breeze and [/] [C] winter chills [Cmaj7] .. in [/] [D7] colors on the snowy linen [/] [G] land [Gsus4] [/] [G]    


{soc}
And now I under- [/] [Am] stand ... [/] [D7] .. what you tried to [/] [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [/]    
[/] [Em] . and how you suffered for your [/] [Am] sanity [/] [D7] .. and you tried to set them [/] [Em!] free
They would not listen, they did [/] [A] not know how [/] [Am] ... per- [D7] haps they'll listen [/] [G] now [Gsus4] [/] [G]   
{eoc}


Starry, starry  [/] [G] night [Gsus4] .... [/] [G] .... flaming flowers that [/] [Am] brightly blaze [Am9] .... [/]     
[/] [Am] .... [Am9] Swirling clouds in [/] [C] violet [Cmaj7] haze, re- [/] [D7] flecting Vincent's eyes of china [/] [G] blue
Colors changing [/] [G] hue [Gsus4] .... [/] [G] .... Morning fields of [/] [Am] amber grain [Am9] .... [/]    
[/] [Am] .... [Am9] Weathered faces [/] [C] lined in [Cmaj7] pain, are [/] [D7] soothed beneath the artist's loving [/] [G] hand


{soc}
Now I under- [/] [Am] stand ... [/] [D7] .. what you tried to [/] [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [/]    
[/] [Em] . and how you suffered for your [/] [Am] sanity [/] [D7] .. and you tried to set them [/] [Em!] free
They would not listen, they did [/] [A] not know how [/] [Am] ... per- [D7] haps they'll listen [/] [G] now
{eoc}


{c:Bridge}
For they could not [/] [Am] love you .... [/] [D] . but still your love was [/] [G] true [Gmaj7] [/]      
[/] [Em] ... And when no [/] [Am!] hope was left in sight on that [/] [Cm!] starry, starry night,
You [/] [G] took your life as [G7] lovers often [/] [E7!] do  
But I [/] [Am] could have told you, Vincent, this [/] [C] world was never meant for one as
[/] [D] beautiful as... [/] [G] you [Gsus4] [/] [G]   


Starry, starry [/] [G] night [Gsus4] ....[/] [G] .... portraits hung in [/] [Am] empty halls [Am9] [/]         
[/] [Am] .... [Am9] Frameless heads on [/] [C] nameless [Cmaj7] walls, with [/] [D7] eyes that watch the world and can't for- [/] [G] get
Like the strangers that you've [/] [G] met [Gsus4] ... The [/] [G] ragged men in [/] [Am] ragged [Am9] clothes [/] 
[/] [Am] ... The [Am9] silver thorn of [/] [C] bloody [Cmaj7] rose, lie [/] [D7!] crushed and broken on the virgin [/] [G] snow


{soc}
And now I think I [/] [Am] know [Am9] .... [/] [D7] . what you tried to [/] [G] say to [Gmaj7] me [/]    
[/] [Em] . How you suffered for your [/] [Am] sanity [/] [D7] . how you tried to set them [/] [Em!] free
They would not listen, they're not [/] [A] listening still [/] [Am] ... per- [D7] haps they never [/] [G] will [Gsus4] [/] [G!]
