Julio Iglesias - Vincent, (Starry Starry Night) 
1990 - Julio Iglesias covered this song on his album Starry Night and it was later included 
on the compilation album My Life: The Greatest Hits (1998)
Capo III
[Verse 1] 
Starry starry Dnight, paint your palette Emblue and gray,
look out on a Gsummer's day
with Aeyes that know the darkness in my Dsoul.
[Verse 2] 
Shadows on the Dhills, sketch the trees and the Emdaffodils,
catch the breeze and the Gwinter chills
in Acolors on the snowy linen Dland.  
[Chorus]
Now I undersEmtand   Awhat you tried to Dsay to me,
how you suffered for your Gsanity,A  
how you tried to set them Bmfree.  
They would not listen they did Emnot know how.A  
perhaps they'll listen Dnow . 
[Verse 3] 
Starry starry Dnight, flaming flowers that Embrightly blaze,
swirling clouds in Gviolet haze
reAflect in Vincent's eyes of china Dblue.
[Verse 4]
Colors changing Dhue, morning fields of Emamber grain,
weathered faces Glined in pain
are Asoothed beneath the artist's loving Dhand. 
[Chorus]
Now I undersEmtand   Awhat you tried to Dsay to me,
how you suffered for your Gsanity,A  
how you tried to set them Bmfree.  
They would not listen they did Emnot know how.A  
perhaps they'll listen Dnow. 
[Bridge]
For they could not Emlove you,    Abut still your love was Dtrue,A  Bm  
and when no Ghope was left inside on that A#starry starry night  
you took your Dlife as lovers often B7do,
but I could have Emtold you Vincent,
this Aworld was never meant for one as A7beautiful as Dyou.  G  D  
[Verse 5]
Starry starry Dnight, portraits hung in Emempty halls,
frameless heads on Gnameless walls
with Aeyes that watch the world and can't Dforget.
[Verse 6]
Like the strangers that you've Dmet, the ragged men in Emragged clothes,
the silver thorn of Gbloody rose
lie Acrushed and broken on the virgin Dsnow.  
[Outro]
Now I think I Emknow    Awhat you tried to Dsay to me,
how you suffered for your Emsanity,   Ahow you tried to set them Bmfree.
They did not listen, they're not listening Gstill, perAhaps they never Dwill.

Capo III

[Verse 1]

D Em

Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray,

look out on a summer's day

A D

with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

[Verse 2]

D Em

Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils,

catch the breeze and the winter chills

A D

in colors on the snowy linen land.

[Chorus]

Em A D

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

G A

how you suffered for your sanity,

how you tried to set them free.

Em A

They would not listen they did not know how.

perhaps they'll listen now .

[Verse 3]

D Em

Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

swirling clouds in violet haze

A D

reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.

[Verse 4]

D Em

Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,

weathered faces lined in pain

A D

are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.

[Chorus]

Em A D

Now I understand what you tried to say to me,

G A

how you suffered for your sanity,

how you tried to set them free.

Em A

They would not listen they did not know how.

perhaps they'll listen now.

[Bridge]

Em A D A Bm

For they could not love you, but still your love was true,

G A#

and when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night

D B7

you took your life as lovers often do,

but I could have told you Vincent,

A A7 D G D

this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

[Verse 5]

D Em

Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,

frameless heads on nameless walls

A D

with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

[Verse 6]

D Em

Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes,

the silver thorn of bloody rose

A D

lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.

[Outro]

Em A D

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,

Em A Bm

how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.

G A D

They did not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will.
