(Starry Starry Night)
Tom: D
D Em
1. Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and gray,
G
look out on a summer's day
A D
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
D Em
2. Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodils,
G
catch the breeze and the winter chills
A D
in colors on the snowy linen land.
Em - A D
Now I understand what you tried to say to me,
G - A
how you suffered for your sanity,
D
how you tried to set them free.
Em - A
They would not listen they did not know how.
D
perhaps they'll listen now .
D Em
3. Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
G
swirling clouds in violet haze
A D
reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue.
D Em
4. Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
G
weathered faces lined in pain
A D
are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand. + REFR.
Em - A D - A - Bm
For they could not love you, but still your love was true,
G Bb
and when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night
D B7
you took your life as lovers often do,
Em
but I could have told you Vincent,
A A7 D - G - D
this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
D Em
5. Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
G
frameless heads on nameless walls
A D
with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
D Em
6. Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes,
G
the silver thorn of bloody rose
A D
lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
Em - A D
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
Em - A D
how you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
G A D
They did not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will.
