verse 1 
A                                        Bm 
Starry, starry  night, paint your pallet blue and grey 
              D                 E7                                A 
look out on a summers day. With eyes that know the darkness in my soul 
                                           Bm 
Shadows on the hills. Sketch the trees and daffodils 
                     D                 E7                        A    D  A 
Catch the breeze and winter chills. In colors on the snowy linen land 


[Refrão]
Chorus 
                Bm                     A 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, 
                          Bm7  E7                          F#m 
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free, 
                                B7          Bm7   E7                  A 
they would not listen, they did not know how,  Perhaps they'll listen now 

verse 2 
                A                           Bm 
Starry, starry  night, flaming flowers that Brightly blaze, 
                   D              E7                              A 
swirling clouds in violet haze Reflecting Vincent’s eyes of China Blue 
                                             Bm 
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber grain 
                D                    E7                                 A 
Weathered faces lined with pain. Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

Chorus 
                Bm                     A 
And now I understand what you tried to say to me, 
                          Bm7  E7                          F#m 
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free, 
                                B7          Bm7   E7                  A 
they would not listen, they did not know how,  Perhaps they'll listen now 

Bridge 
                      Bm                             A 
For they could not love you, but still your love was true 
            Bm                                     A 
And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night, 
                      F#7 
you took your life as lovers often do 
      Bm                               D 
But I could have told youVincent. This world was 
                       E             A 
Never meant for one as beautiful as you 

verse 3 
A                                        Bm 
Starry, starry  night, portraits hung in Empty halls, 
                   D                   E                                      A 
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget 
                                                     Bm 
Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes 
                    D                E7                                 A  D  A 
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie Crushed and broken on the virgin snow 

Outro 
                  Bm                      A        F#m 
And now I think I know, what you tried to Say to me, 
                          Bm    E7                         F#m 
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free 
                               B7              E   Bm7 
They would not listen, they’re not listening still, 
   E7              A 
Perhaps they never will
