[Estrofe]
                    G    Gsus4 G                    Am 
Starry, starry  night,   paint your palette blue and grey 
                C                 D                                G 
Look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul 
                   G Gsus4 G                       Am 
Shadows on the hills,       Sketch the trees and daffodils 
                      C                D                             G 
Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land
[Refrão]
            Am      D                   G         G/F# Em 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, 
                          Am      D                          Em 
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free, 
                                     A         Am     D                 G 
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now
[Estrofe]
                        G  Gsus4 G                    Am 
Starry, starry  night,          flaming flowers that brightly blaze, 
                   C            D                                    G 
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue 
                    G  Gsus4 G                        Am 
Colors changing hue,               Morning fields of amber grain 
               C                   D                                   G 
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Refrão]
            Am      D                   G       G/F# Em 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, 
                          Am      D                          Em 
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free, 
                                     A         Am     D               G 
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now
[Puente]
                    Am     D                          G       G/F#          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                 F            E7 
You took your life as lovers often do 
       Am                                 C 
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was 
                        D             G 
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Estrofe]
                    G  Gsus4 G                                 Am 
Starry, starry  night,                portraits hung in empty halls, 
                   C                   D                                  G 
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget 
                                 G  Gsus4 G                        Am 
Like the strangers that you've met              The ragged men in ragged clothes 
                      C                D                               G 
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Refrão]
                  Am  D                   G       G/F# Em 
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me, 
                          Am      D                          Em 
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free, 
                                      A            Am   D               G 
They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will
