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
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
