VINCENT Don McLean
Starry Starry [G]night paint your pallete [Am]blue and grey
Look out on a [C]summers day with [D7]eyes that know the darkness in my [G]soul
Shadows on the hills sketch the tress and [Am]daffodils
Catch the breeze and the [C]winter chill In [D7]colors on the snowy linen [G]land
chorus
[C] [G] And now I under[Am]stand [D7] what you tried to [G]say to me[Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen they did [A7]not know how[Am7] per[D7]haps they 'll listen [G]now
Starry starry nite flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect in VIncent's eyes of china blue
Colors changing hue,morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
chorus
[G]For they could not [Am7]love you [D7]but still your love was [G]true
[Em] And when no [Am7]hope was left in sight on that [Cm6]starry starry nite
You [G]took your life as [F7]lovers often [E7]do But I [Am7]could have told you Vincent
This [C]world was never meant for one as [D7]beautiful as [G]you
Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
chorus
[C] [G] And now I think I[Am]know [D7] what you tried to [G]say to me[Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen they're not [A7]listening still [Am7] per[D7]haps they never will
