Vincent Lyrics And

**Chords:**
C  G  Am  Em  F  C  G

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

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

C               G
Now I understand
        Am              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               G
They would not listen
        Am              Em
They did not know how
        F                   C
Perhaps they'll listen now

C               G
Starry, starry night
        Am              Em
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
        F                  C
Swirling clouds in violet haze
       G                C
Reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

C               G
Colors changing hue
        Am              Em
Morning fields of amber grain
        F                  C
Weathered faces lined in pain
       G             C
Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand

C               G
Now I understand
        Am              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               G
They would not listen
        Am              Em
They did not know how
        F                   C
Perhaps they'll listen now
