Vincent Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Starry, starry [G]night
Paint your palette [A]blue [Am]and grey
Look out on a [C]summer's day
With [Dm]eyes that know
the darkness [D]in my [G]soul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and [Am]the daffodils
Catch the breeze and [C]the winter chills
In [D]colors of the snowy linen [G]land
[C]Now [G]I understa[A]nd
[Am]What[D] you try to say [G]to me[D]
[Em]How you suffer for your [A]sanity
[Am]And [Dm]how you[D] try to set them free
[Em]They would not listen,
they did [A]not know [Am]how
[D]Perhaps they listen [G]now[Gsus4][G]
Starry, starry night
Flaming flower[Em]s that bri[Am]ghtly blaze
Swirling clouds [C]and violet haze
[D]Reflecting Vincent's
[Dm]eyes of [D]china [G]blue
Colors change and lube
Morning fills [Am]of amber grain
Weathered [C]faces, lined in pain
Are [D]soothed beneath the
artist's loving [G]hand
Now I under[A]stand
[Am]What[D] you try to say to m[G]e[D][Em]
How you suffer for your [Am]sanity[D]
And how you try to set them [Em]free
They would not listen,
they [A]did not know [Am]how
[D]Perhaps they listen [G]now,
for they could not [Am]love you
[D]But still your love was tru[G]e[Dm][E]
And when no [Am]hope was left inside you,
on the [Adim]starry, starry night
You [Cm]took your [G]life as [F]lovers often [E]do
But I could have [Am]told you, Vincent
This [C]world was never meant for one
[D]as beautiful as [G]you[Gsus4][G]
Starry, [Em]starry [G]night
Portraits hung in [Am]empty halls
Frameless heads on [C]nameless walls
With [D]eyes that [Dm]watch the [D]world
and can't for[G]get
Like the strangest that you've met
The ragged man in [Am]the ragged clothes
The silver thorn of [Cm]a bloody ros[C]e
Like [D]crushed and broken
[Dm]on the virgi[D]n snow
[G]Now I think I kno[Am]w[D]
What you try [G]to say to [D]me
[Em]How you suffered for your [A]sanity
[Am]And [D]how you try to set them free
[Em]They would not listen,
they're [A]not listening
And still, [Am]perhaps [D]they never wil[G]l[Gsus4]
