verse 1:  

Starry Starry  
G                        Am  
night paint your pallete blue and grey  
              C                D7                               G  
Look out on a summers day with eyes tha know the darkness in my soul  
                                      Am  
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils  
                         C               D7                          G   C   G  
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linen land  



              Am     D7                    G            Em  
And now I understand      what you tried to say to me  
                         Am7     D7                           Em  
How you suffered for you sanity     How you tried to set them free  
                              A7          Am7   D7                   G  
They would not listen the did not know how   perhaps they 'll listen now 
 


verse 2:  

Starry Starry  
 G                    Am  
night flamings flowers that brightly blaze  
                  C            D7                                G  
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue  
                                      Am  
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grey  
               C                   D7                                  G   C   G  
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artists loving hand  
  

G                 Am7      D7                        G     Em  
For the could not love you,  but still your love was true  
            Am7                            Cm6  
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night  
    G                F7           E7         Am7  
You took you life as lovers often do,  But I could of told you Vincent  
     C                                D7           G  
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you 
 


verse 3:  

Starry Starry  
G                       Am  
night portraits hung in empty halls  
                   C                    D7                                  G  
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget  
                                                    Am  
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes  
                     C                D7                               G   C   G  
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow  


                Am     D7                    G          Em  
And now I understand      what you tried to say to me  
                         Am7     D7                           Em  
How you suffered for you sanity     How you tried to set them free  
                                  A7               Am7   D7               G  
They would not listen theyre not  listening still     perhaps they never will
