Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
Do Re Sol
Look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Sol Sol4 Sol Lam
Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and daffodils
Do Re Sol
Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land
Lam Re Sol Sol/Fa# Mim
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
Lam Re Mim
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,
La Lam Re Sol
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now
Sol Sol4 Sol Lam
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Do Re Sol
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflecting Vincent's eyes of china blue
Sol Sol4 Sol Lam
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber grain
Do Re Sol
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
Lam Re Sol Sol/Fa# Mim
And now I understand what you tried to say to me,
Lam Re Mim
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,
La Lam Re Sol
They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they'll listen now
Lam Re Sol Sol/Fa# Mim
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Lam Dom
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry, starry night,
Sol Fa Mi7
You took your life as lovers often do
Lam Do
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
Re Sol
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
Sol Sol4 Sol Lam
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,
Do Re Sol
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Sol Sol4 Sol Lam
Like the strangers that you've met The ragged men in ragged clothes
Do Re Sol
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
Lam Re Sol Sol/Fa# Mim
And now I think I know what you tried to say to me,
Lam Re Mim
How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,
La Lam Re Sol
They would not listen, they're not listening still, perhaps they never will
