[Verse]
G
Starry starry night
Am
Paint your palette blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Am
Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and the daffodils
C D7 G
Catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
C G Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse]
G
Starry starry night
Am
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C D7 G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Am
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
C D7 G
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
Now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they did not know how perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
Am7 D7 G
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Em Am7 Cm6
And when no hope was left inside on that starry starry night
G F7 E7 Am7
You took your life as lovers often do, but I could have told you Vincent
C D7 G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse]
G
Starry starry night
Am
Portraits hung in empty halls
C D7 G
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
Am
Like the strangers that you’ve met, the ragged men in ragged clothes
C D7 G
The silver thorn, the bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 D7 G
They would not listen, they’re not listening still perhaps they never will

I could HAVE told you, Vincent - not OF. With all beautiful poetry of this song, I doubt if Mr McLean would have used incorrect grammar. Oh, and I know it's a typo, but it's Vincent in this line, not Vinvent. lol

I liked it! Nice, classic song with easy chords. Strum or pick, sounds great.
