starry , starry night , paint your palette
Am Am C
blue and grey , look out on A summer’s day ,
D D G
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G G
shadows on the hills ,
C Am
sketch the trees and daffodills
C Am
catch the breeze and winter chills , in
D D G
colors on the snowy linen land
G Am Am
and now i under stand what you tried to
G Am Am
say to me , how you suffered for your sanity
C G
how you tried to set them free ,

they would not listen , they did not know how ,

perhaps they’ll listen now

starry , starry night , flaming flowers that
Am Am C
brightly blaze , swirling clouds in violet haze
D D G
reflecting vincents eyes of china blue

colors changing hue ,

morning fields of amber grain

weathered faces lined with pain
D D G
are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

the ragged men in ragged clothes

the silver thorn of bloody rose , lie

crushed and broken on the virgin snow

C Am
they would not listen , theyre not listening still ,
