Tom: Em
[Intro] D E G A
D D
Starry, starry night
Em
Paint your palette blue and gray
G
Look out on a summer's day
A D
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
D D
Shadows on the hills
Em
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
A D
In colors on the snowy linen land
Em G
Now I understand
D C# Bm
What you tried to say, to me
Em
And how you suffered for your sanity
Bm
And how you tried to set them free
Em
They would not listen; they did not know how
G D
Perhaps they'll listen now
( b>D Em G A )
D
Starry, Starry night
Em
Portraits hung in empty halls
G
Frameless heads on nameless walls
A D
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
D D
Like the strangers that you've met
Em
The ragged men in ragged clothes
G
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
A D
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Em G
Now I think I know
D C# Bm
What you tried to say, to me
Em
And how you suffered for your sanity
Bm
And how you tried to set them free
Em
They would not listen; they're not listening still
G D
Perhaps they never will
Em A
For they could not love you
D Bm
But still, your love was true
E
And when no hope was left inside
G
On that starry, starry night
D C B7
You took your life as lovers often do
E
But I could've told you, Vincent
G
This world was never meant
A D
For one as beautiful as you
[Final] D E G A
