[Verse 1]
               D Dsus4 D                 EmStarry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey.
Em            G                 A7                                DLook out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
               D Dsus4 D               EmShadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodills,
Em                       G                 A7                        D Dsus4 Dcatch the breeze and the winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land.

[Chorus]
           Em    A7             D               BmNow I understand what you tried to say to me,
                          Em              A7                Bmhow you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free.
                                E             Em A7                  D Dsus4 DThey would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.

[Verse 2]
               D Dsus4 D                   EmStarry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Em                 G             A7                               Dswirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of chine blue.
                D Dsus4 D              EmColors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
                G                 A7                                  Dweathered faces lined in pain are soothed 'neath the artists's loving hand.

[Chorus]
           Em    A7                D          BmNow I understand what you tried to say to me,
                         Em         A7                        Bmhow you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free.
                                E             Em A7                  DThey would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now.

[Bridge]
                   Em       A7                      D      BmFor they could not love you and still your love was true
            Em                             Gmand when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,
    D                 C7           B7                   Emyou took your life as lovers often do, but I could have told you, Vincent,
     G                         A7                  D Dsus4 Dthis world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

[Verse 3]
               D Dsus4 D                EmStarry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
Em                 G                   A7                                     Dframeless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
                              D Dsus4 D              EmLike the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in ragged clothes,
Em                  G                A7                               Dthe silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow,

[End-Chorus]
                  Em   A7                D           Bmand now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
                 Em           A7                               Bmhow you suffered for your sanity and how you tried to set them free.
                                   E7             Em   A7They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they'll never [Outro] will.
