[Intro: ]D E G A
D (paradinha 5x D)
Starry, starry night
E
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 (paradinha 5x D )
Shadows on the hills
E
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
A D
In colors on the snowy linen land.
E G
Now I understand
D C# B
What you tried to say, to me
E
And how you suffered for your sanity
B
And how you tried to set them free:
E
They would not listen; they did not know how --
G
Perhaps they'll listen now.
INTRO
D (paradinha 6x)
Starry, Starry night
E
Portraits hung in empty halls
G
Frameless heads on nameless walls
A D
With eyes that watch the world and can't forget
D (paradinha 6x D)
Like the strangers that you've met
E
The ragged men in ragged clothes
G
The silver thorn, a bloody rose
A D
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
E G
Now I think I know
D C# B
What you tried to say, to me
E
And how you suffered for your sanity
B
And how you tried to set them free:
E
They would not listen; they're not listening still --
G D
Perhaps they never will.
E A
For they could not love you
D B
But still, your love was true
(LARGA) E
And when no hope was left inside
G
On that starry, starry night
*D C B
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.
INTRO
