	Starry, starry	night, pai	nt your palette

	A	A	C
	Blue and grey, L	ook out on a	summer's day,

	D	D	G
	with eyes that know the dar	kness in my soul

	G	G
	Shadows on the hills	,

	C	A
	Sketch the trees and the daffo	dills

	C	A
C	atch the breeze and the	winter chills, in

	D	D	G
	colors on the sn	owy linen land

	G	A	A
	now I under stand wh	at you tri	ed to

	G	A	A
	Say to me, how you suff	ered for your sa	nity

	C	G
How you	tried to set them free,

	C	C	A
	they would not listen, th	ey did not know how,

	D	G
	Perhaps they'll listen	now

	G	G	G
	Starry, starry n	ight, flam	ing flowers that

	A	A	C
	Brightly blaze, sw	irling clouds in violet	haze

	D	D	G
	Reflect in Vincentï¿½s eye	s of China Blue

	G	G
	Colors changing hue,

	C	A
	Morning fields of amber gr	ain

	C	A
	Weathered faces lined wi	th pain

	D	D	G
	Are soothed beneath the artist	s loving hand

	G	A	A
	And now I under stand wh	at you tr	ied to

	G	A	A
	say to me, how you suffere	d for your sanity

	C	G
	How you tried to set them free,

	C	A
	they would not listen, they did no	t know how,

	D	G
	Perhaps they'll listen now

	C
Fo	r they could not love you,

	C	G
but stil	l your love was true

	C	C
	And when no hope was left in sig	ht

	C	C
On that	starry, starry nig	ht,

	G	G	G
you took	your life as lo	vers oft	en do

	A	C
	But I could have told you, Vincent, this worl	d was

	D	G
Never meant for one as be	autiful as	you

	G	G	G
	Starry, starry	night, p	ortraits hung in

	A	C
	Empty halls, frameless heads on n	ameless walls

	D	D	G
	with eyes that watch the	world and canï¿½t f	orget

	G	G
	Like the strangers that youï¿½ve m	et

	C	A
	The ragged men in ragged c	lothes

	C	A
T	he silver thorn the bloo	dy rose, lie

	D	D	G
	Crushed and broken on the	virgin snow

	G	A	A
	now I think I know, wha	t you tri	ed to

	G	A	A
	say to me, how you suff	ered for your sani	ty

	C	G
How	you tried to set the	m free,

	C	A
	They would not listen, theyï¿½re not listening still	,

	D	G
	Perhaps they never willï¿½
