Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][C]
[C][C]

[Verse 1]
Starry, starry [C]night
Paint your pallet [Dm]blue and gray
Look out on the [F]summer's day
With [G]eyes that know
the darkness in my [C]soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and [Dm]daffodils
Catch the breeze and the [F]winter chill
In [G]colors on the snowy linen [C]land[G][C]

[Chorus 1]
Now I under[Dm]stand[G]
What you tired to [C]say [G]to [Am]me
And how you suffered for your [Dm]sanity[G]
And how you tried to set them [Am]free
They would not listen
They did [D]not know how
[Dm]Perhaps [G]they'll listen now[C][G][C]

[Verse 2]
Starry, starry [C]night
Flaming flowers that [Dm]brightly blaze
Swirling [C]clouds in [F]violet haze
Re[G]flect in Vincent's eyes of china [C]blue
Colors changing hue
Morning fields of [Dm]amber gray
Weathered faces [F]lined in pain
Are [G]soothed beneath
the artist's loving [C]hand[G][C]

[Chorus 2]
Now I under[Dm]stand[G]
What you tired to [C]say [G]to [Am]me
And how you suffered for your [Dm]sanity[G]
And how you tried to set them [Am]free
They would not listen
They did [D]not know how
[Dm]Perhaps [G]they'll listen now[C]
[Dm]For they c[C]ould not

[Chorus 3]
[Dm]love [G]you
But still your love [C]was [G]true[Am]
And when your [Dm]love was left inside
On that [Fm]starry, starry night
You [C]took your life as
[Bb]lovers often [A]do
But I could have told you, [Dm]Vincent
This [F]world was never meant for one
As [G]beautiful as [C]you

[Interlude 1]
[C][C][Dm][Dm]
[F][G][C]

[Verse 3]
Like the strangers that you've [C]met
The ragged men in [Dm]ragged clothes
The silver [F]thorn, a bloody rose
Lie [G]crushed and broken on on the virgin [C]snow

[Chorus 4]
Now I think I [Dm]know[G]
What you tired to [C]say [E]to [Am]me
And how you [C]suffered for your [Dm]sanity[G]
And how you tried to set them [Am]free
They would not listen
They're not [D]listening still
[Dm]Perhaps [G]they never will[C]
[F][C]
