Vincent
Don McLean
Key : G
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
Starry
            G
Starry night
                  Asus2
Paint your palette     blue and grey
              Cmaj7
Look out on a summer's day
         D7
With eyes  that know the
               G
Darkness in my soul.
Shadows on the hills
                 Asus2
Sketch the trees and  the daffodils
                 Cmaj7
Catch the breeze and  the winter chills
   D7                             G
In colors on the snowy linen land.

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
           Asus2 D7               G
Now I understand   what you tried to say to me
Em7                            Am
   Nd how you suffered for your  sanity
D7                              Em
  And how you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
         A7
They did not know how
Am7 D7                      G
      Perhaps they'll listen now.
Starry
            G
Starry night

[Verse 2]
---------------------
               Asus2
Flaming flowers     that brightly blaze
                Cmaj7               D7
Swirling clouds in   violet haze reflect in
                        G
Vincent's eyes of China blue.
                G
Colors changing hue
               Asus2
Morning fields of   amber grain
Am               Cmaj7
  Weathered faces     lined in pain
D7
Are soothed beneath the artist's
       G
Loving hand.

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
           Asus2 Am D7                  G
Now I understand      what you tried to say to me
Em7                        Am7
   Nd how you suffered for your sanity
D7                             Em
  Nd how you tried to set them free.
                               A7
They would not listen they did not know how
Am7       D7               G
   Perhaps  they'll listen now.
                       Am
For they could not love  you
D7                            G Gmaj9/F#
  But still your love was true
Em            Am                             Cm
  And when no hope was left in sight on that starry
Starry night.
    G                F
You took your life As
            E7
lovers often  do;
     Am
But I  could have told you
Vincent
Cmaj7
This world was never
Meant for one
  D7             G
As  beautiful as you.
Starry
            G
Starry night

[Verse 3]
---------------------
                 Asus2
Portraits hung in     empty halls
                Cmaj7
Frameless heads on   nameless walls
D7
With eyes
                                  G
That watch the world and can't forget.
Like the strangers that you've met
                 Asus2
The ragged men in     ragged clothes
Am                   Cmaj7
  The silver thorn of     bloody rose
    D7
Lie crushed and broken
              G
On the virgin snow.

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
              Am  D                  G     Gmaj9/F#
Now I think I know what you tried to say to        me
Em                            Am
  Nd How you suffered for your  sanity
D7                             Em
  Nd How you tried to set them free.
They would not listen
They're not
A7
List'ning still
Am7   D7             G
   Perhaps they never will.
