G Gsus4 G Am
night paint your palette blue and grey
C D G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Gsus4 G Am
Shadows on the hills sketch the tress and the daffodils
C D G C G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linen land
Chorus
Am Am6 G Em
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am Am6 Em
How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free
A Am Am6 G
They would not listen they did not know how perhaps they 'll listen now
Starry starry night flamings flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue,morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Chorus
Am Am6 G Em
For they could not love you but still your love was true
Am Cm
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
G F7 E7 Am
You took you life as lovers often do But I could of told you Vincent
C D G C G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls with i's that watch the world and cant forget
Like
the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lire crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Am Am6 G Em
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me
Am Am6 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A Am Am6 G C G
They would not listen they're not listening still perhaps they never will
