[Verse 1]
Starry Starry
G Am
night paint your pallet blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G Am
Shadows on hills sketch the tree's and daffodils
C D7 G - C - G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linnen land
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 - D7 G
They would not listen the did not know how perhaps they they'll listen now
[Verse 2]
Starry Starry
G Am
night flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C D7 G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Am
Colors 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 they 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 your 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 can't forget
Am
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
C D7 G Gsus4 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 they're not listening still perhaps they never will
