**Lyrics:**
C             Em  
Starry, starry night,  
C                  Em  
Paint your palette blue and gray,  
F                C  
Look out on a summer's day,  
G              C  
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul.  

C             Em  
Shadows on the hills,  
C                   Em  
Sketch the trees and the daffodils,  
F                   C  
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,  
G                     C  
In colors on the snowy linen land.  

C             Em  
Now I understand,  
C                 Em  
What you tried to say to me,  
F                  C  
And how you suffered for your sanity,  
G                C  
And how you tried to set them free.  

C             Em  
They would not listen,  
C               Em  
They did not know how,  
F                C  
Perhaps they'll listen now.
