Vincent Passenger
[Verse 1]
[E]Starry, starry night
[F#m]Paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a su[A]mmer's day
With eye[B]s that know the dark[E]ness of my soul
[A]Shadows on the hi[E]ll
Sketch the trees and the [F#m]daffodils
Catch the breeze and the w[A]inter chills
In co[B]lors on the snowy linen land
[Cborus]
[E]Now I un[F#m]derstand [B]what you tried to sa[E]y to me[B] [C#m]
How you suffered for your san[F#m]ity[B]
How you tried to set them [C#m]free
They did not listen, they did n[F#m]ot know how[A]
[B]Perhaps they'll listen now[E]
[Verse 2]
[E]Starry, starry night
Flaming flowers b[F#m]rightly blaze
Swirling clouds in viol[A]et haze
[B]Reflect in Vincent's eyes of c[E]hina blue
And the col[A]ors changing hu[E]e
Morning fi[F#m]elds of amber grain
Weathered faces l[A]ined in pain
Are s[B]oothed beneath the artist's loving [E]hand
[Cborus]
[E]Now I un[F#m]derstand [B]what you tried to sa[E]y to me[B] [C#m]
How you suffered for your san[F#m]ity[B]
How you tried to set them [C#m]free
They did not listen, they did n[F#m]ot know how[A]
[B]Perhaps they'll listen now[E]
[Bridge]
For they could not l[F#m]ove you
S[B]till your love was [E]true[B] [C#m]
How when no h[A]ope was left in sight
[Am]On that starry, starry night
You t[E]ook your life, as lovers often do[C#m]
But I c[F#m]ould have told you, Vincent
[A]This world was never meant for one as beautiful as yo[E]u
[Verse 3]
St[E]arry, starry night
Portraits hung in emp[F#m]ty halls
Frameless head on na[D]meless wall[A]s[B]
With eyes that watch the world and can't fo[E]rget[A]
Like the stra[A]ngers that you've m[E]et
Oh the ragged men in the r[F#m]agged clothes
And the silver thorn of blo[F#m]ody [A]rose
Lies [E]crushed and b[B]roken on the virgin sn[E]ow
[Outro]
[E]Now I un[F#m]derstand [B]what you tried to sa[E]y to me[B] [C#m]
How you suffered for your san[F#m]ity[B]
How you tried to set them [C#m]free
They did not listen, they did n[F#m]ot know how[A]
[B]Perhaps they'll listen now[E]
