[Verse 1]
G                     C GStarry, starry  night,
Gpaint your palette
AmBlue and grey,
Am            CLook out on a summer's day,
     D                                 Gwith eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G                     C GShadows on the hills,
G                        AmSketch the trees and the daffodills
Am                       CCatch the breeze and the winter chills, in
D                          G C Gcolors on the snowy linen land


[Chorus]
G              Am    DNow I under stand
                   G   D   Emwhat you tried to say to me
Em                            Am     Dand how you suffered for your sanity
                          EmHow you tried to set them free,
Em                                       Am   Dthey would not listen, they did not know how,
                      GPerhaps they'll listen now


[Verse 2]
G                 C  GStarry, starry  night,
G                 Amportraits hung in empty halls
Am                Cframless heads on nameless walls
D                                      Gwith eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
GLike the strangers that you’ve met
G                 AmThe ragged men in ragged clothes
Am                CA silver thorn, a bloody rose, lie
D                  D            GCrushed and broken on the virgin snow

G                 Am    DAnd now I think I know,
D                  G  D   Emwhat you tried to say to me,
Em                        Am      Dhow you suffered for your sanity
D                         EmHow you tried to set them free,
Em                                              CThey would not listen, they’re not listening still,
   D                GPerhaps the never....will


[Bridge]
Em                  Am        DFor they could not love you,
D                        G  D Embut still your love was true
Em          AmAnd when no hope was left in sight
        COn that starry, starry night, you
G                 Am            Etook your life as lovers often do
    Am                              CBut I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
C                      D           G  C  GNever meant for one as beautiful as you
