Vincent Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Starry[G], starry night
Paint [Am]your palette blue and grey
Look out on a sum[C]mer's day
With [D]eyes that know the darkness
[G]in my soul
[C]Shadows on the hills

[Verse 2]
[G][C][G]
Sketch the trees [Am]and the daffodils
Catch the breeze [C]and the winter chills
In [D]colors on the snowy linen land
[G][C]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Now I [Em]under[Am]stand[D]
What you tried to [G]say to [D]me[G]
[Em]And how you suffered for
[Am]your [D]sanity
[Asus4]How you t[D]ried to set them free[Em]
They would not listen,
they [Am]did not know how
Per[G]haps they'll listen [C]now[G]

[Verse 4]
Starry, starry [G]night[C][G]
Flaming flowers [Am]that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in viol[C]et haze
Re[D]flect in Vincent's
eyes of china [G]blue
[C]Colors chan

[Verse 5]
[G]ging [C]hue[G]
Morning [Am]fields of amber grain
Weathered faces [C]lined in pain
[D]Are soothed beneath the
artist's lov[G]ing hand

[Verse 6]
Now I un[Am]derstand[D]
What you tried [G]to say to [Em]me
How you suffered for [Am]your
[Asus4]sanity
How [D]you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen,
[Am]they did not know how
Perhaps they'll [D]listen [G]now

[Verse 7]
For they could [Am]not love [G]you
[Asus4]But still[D] your love was true[G][Em]
And when no [Am]hope was left in sight
On [C]that starry, starry night
[G]You took your life,
[D]as lovers often [Em]do
But I could've [Am]told you, Vincent
[C]This world was never meant for one
[D]as beauti[G]ful as [C]you[G]

[Verse 8]
Starry, starry [G]night[C][G]
Portraits hung [Am]in empty halls
Frameless heads on [C]nameless walls
[D]With eyes that watch the world
and can't for[G]get
[C]Like the strangers that

[Verse 9]
[G]
you've [C]met[G]
The ragged men in their
[Am]ragged clothes
The silver thorn of the bloody
[C]rose
[D]Lie crushed and broken on
the virgin [G]snow[C][G]
Now [Am]I think I

[Verse 10]
[D]know
[Am]What you [G]tried to say to [D]me[Em]
And how you suffered for
[Am]your [D]sanity
[Am]How you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen,
they're not [Am]listening still
Perhaps they never [G]will[D]

[Outro 1]
