[Intro]

G Gsus4 G Am C D7 G Gsus4 G

[Verse]

G Gsus4 G

Starry, starry night,

Paint your palette blue and grey,

Look out on a summer’s day,

D7 G

With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Gsus4 G Gsus4 G

Shadows on the hills

Sketch the trees and the daffodils

Catch the breeze and the winter chills

D7 G Gsus4 G

In colours on the snowy linen land

[Chorus]

Am D

Now I understand

G G/F# Em

What you tried to say to me

Am D7

And how you suffered for your sanity

And how you tried to set them free

They would not listen

Am D7

They did not know how

G Gsus4 G

Perhaps they’ll listen now

[Instrumental]

G Gsus4 G

Starry, starry night,

Am C D7 G

Am D

Starry, starry night

G G/F# Em Am D7 G Gsus4

G Gsus4 G Am C D7 G G/F# Em Am D7 G G/F# Em Am D7 G Gsus4 G

[Chorus]

Am D

Now I think I know

G G/F# Em

What you tried to say to me

Am D7

And how you suffered for your sanity

How you tried to set them free

They would not listen,

Am D7

They’re not listening still

G Gsus4 G

Perhaps they never will.

[Outro]

Am D7

For they could not love you,

G G7

But still your love was true

And when no hope was left in sight

On that starry, starry night

Oh, you took your life,

F E7

As lovers often do

But I could’ve told you, Vincent,

This world was never meant for

D7 G Gsus4 G

One as beautiful as you
