Starry, Starry Night
Ton : GEnglish
Couplet
Starry starry Gnight
Paint your palette Amblue and grey
Look out on a Csummer's day
With D7eyes that know the darkness in my Gsoul
Shadows on the hills
Sketch the trees and the Amdaffodils
Catch the breeze and the Cwinter chills
In D7colours on the snowy linen G Cland G
Refrain
Now I unAmderstand
What you tried to Gsay to Emme
And how you suffered for your Amsanity
And how you D7tried to set them Emfree
N.C.They would not listen they A7did not know Am7how
D7Perhaps they'll listen Gnow.
Couplet
Starry starry Gnight
Flaming flowers that brightly Amblaze
Swirling clouds in Cviolet haze
ReD7flect in Vincent's eyes of china Gblue
Colours changing hue
Morning fields of Amamber grain
Weathered faces Clined in pain
Are D7soothed beneath the artist's loving G Chand G
Refrain
Now I unAmderstand
What you tried to Gsay to Emme
And how you suffered for your Amsanity
And how you D7tried to set them Emfree
N.C.They would not listen they A7did not know Am7how
D7Perhaps they'll listen Gnow.
Pont
For they could not Amlove D7you
But still your love was Gtrue
EmThen when no Am7hope was left inside
On that Cm6starry starry night
You Gtook your life as F7lovers ofE7ten do
But I Am7could have told you, Vincent,
This Cworld was never meant for one as D7beautiful Gas you
Couplet
Starry starry Gnight
Portraits hung in empty Amhalls
Frameless heads on Cnameless walls
With D7eyes that watch the world and can't Gforget
Like the strangers that you've met
The ragged men in Amragged clothes
A silver thorn a Cbloody rose
Lie D7crushed and broken on the virgin G Csnow G
Refrain
Now I think I Amknow
What you tried to Gsay to Emme
And how you suffered for your Am7sanity
And how you D7tried to set them Emfree
N.C.They would not listen, they're A7not listening Am7still
D7Perhaps they never G Cwill G
