Vincent: Don McLean 019 - 1

Starry Starry

G Am

night paint your pallete blue and grey

C D7

Look out on a summers day with eyes that know

G

the darkness in my soul

Am

Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils Catch the breeze

C D7 G

and the winter chill in colors on the snowy linen land

Chorus:

Am D7 G Em

And now I understand what you tried to say to me

Am7 D7 Em

How you suffered for you sanity How you tried to set them free

Am7 D7 G

They would not listen they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now

G Am

Starry starry nite flaminging flowers brightly blaze

C D7 G

Swirling coulds in violet haze reflect in Vincents eyes of china blue

Am

Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber green

C D7 G

Weatherd faces lined inpain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand

Chorus:

G Am

Starry starry nite portraits hung in empty halls

C

frameless heads on nameless walls

D7 G

with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget

G Am

Like the strangers that you’ve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes

C

The silver thorn the bloody rose is

D7 G

crushed and broken on the virgin snow

Chorus:
