DStarry starry Dsus4night Dpaint your palette Emblue and grey
EmLook out on a summer's Gday with A7eyes that know the darkness in my Dsoul
DShadows on the Dsus4hills Dsketch the trees and the Emdaffodils
EmCatch the breeze and the Gwinter A7chills in colors on the snowy linen Dland
EmNow I understand A7what you tried to say to Dme
How you Bmsuffered for your sanity Emhow you tried to set them A7free
They Bmwould not listen they Edid not know Emhow A7perhaps they'll listen Dnow
DStarry starry Dsus4night Dflaming flowers that Embrightly blaze
EmSwirling clouds in violet Ghaze reA7flect in Vincent's eyes of china Dblue
DColors changing Dsus4hue Dmorning fields of Emamber grain
EmWeathered faces lined in Gpain are A7soothed beneath the artist's loving Dhand
EmNow I understand A7what you tried to say to Dme
How you Bmsuffered for your sanity Emhow you tried to set them A7free
They Bmwould not listen they Edid not know Emhow A7perhaps they'll listen Dnow
DFor they could Gmnot love you
But still your Dlove was true
And when no Dhope was left in sight on that D7starry starry night
You Gtook your life as Gmlovers often do
But I Dcould have told you A7Vincent
This world was Dnever A7meant for one as Dbeautiful as Gmyou D
DStarry starry Dsus4night Dportraits hung in Emempty halls
EmFrameless heads on nameless Gwalls with A7eyes that watch the world and can't forDget
DLike the strangers that Dsus4you've Dmet the ragged Emmen in ragged clothes
EmThe silver thorn of Gbloody A7rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin Dsnow
EmNow I think I know A7what you tried to say to Dme
How you Bmsuffered for your sanity Emhow you tried to set them A7free
They Bmwould not listen they're Enot listening Emstill A7perhaps they never Dwill
