Vincent Starry Starry Night Chords

(ver. 1)
Don Mclean

Verse 1:

Starry Starry
G                        Am
night paint your pallete blue and grey
              C                D7                               G
Look out on a summers day with eyes tha know the darkness in my soul
                                      Am
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils
                         C               D7                          G - C - G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linen land


Chorus:

              Am     D7                    G            Em
And now I understand      what you tried to say to me
                         Am7     D7                           Em
How you suffered for you sanity     How you tried to set them free
                              A7          Am7 - D7                   G
They would not listen the did not know how   perhaps they 'll listen now


Verse 2:

Starry Starry
 G                    Am
night flamings flowers that brightly blaze
                  C            D7                                G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
                                      Am
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grey
               C                   D7                                  G - C - G
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


Extended Chorus:

G                 Am7      D7                        G  -  Em
For the could not love you,  but still your love was true
            Am7                            Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
    G                F7           E7         Am7
You took you life as lovers often do,  But I could of told you Vincent
     C                                D7           G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you


Verse 3:

Starry Starry
G                       Am
night portraits hung in empty halls
                   C                    D7                                  G
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget
                                                    Am
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
                     C                D7                               G - C - G
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow


Final Chorus:

                Am     D7                    G          Em
And now I understand      what you tried to say to me
                         Am7     D7                           Em
How you suffered for you sanity     How you tried to set them free
                                  A7               Am7   D7               G
They would not listen theyre not  listening still     perhaps they never will
