Vincent
By Don Mclean

Verse 1
G Starry, starry night, paint your palette
Am CBlue and grey, look out on a summer's day,
D D GWith eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G GShadows on the hills,
C AmSketch the trees and daffodils
C AmCatch the breeze and the winter chills
D D GIn colours on the snowy linen land
G Am And now I understand what you tried to
G Am Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity
C GHow you tried to set them free,
C AmThey would not listen, they did not know how
D GPerhaps they'll listen now
Verse 2
G Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that
Am CBrightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze
D D GReflect in Vincent’s eyes of China Blue
G GColours changing hue,
C AmMorning fields of amber grain
C AmWeathered faces lined with pain
D D GAre soothed beneath the artists loving hand
G Am And now I understand what you tried to
G Am Say to me, how you suffered for your sanity
C G How you tried to set them free,
C AmThey would not listen, they did not know how,
D GPerhaps they'll listen now
Verse 3
C For they could not love you,
C GBut still your love was true
C And when no hope was left in sight
On that starry, starry night
G You took your life as lovers often do
Am CBut I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
D GNever meant for one as beautiful as you
Verse 4
G Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
Am Am CFrameless heads on nameless walls
D D GWith eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
G GLike the strangers that you’ve met
C AmThe ragged men in ragged clothes
C AmThe silver thorn, a bloody rose
D D GLie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
G Am AmNow I think I know, what you tried to
G Am AmSay to me, and how you suffered for your sanity
C GAnd how you tried to set them free,
C AmThey would not listen; they’re not listening still,
D GPerhaps the never will…
