Vincent Ukulele Chords

[Verse]
 
Starry Starry
G    Gsus4 G                    Am
night        paint your palette blue and grey
              C                D                                 G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
                   Gsus4 G                           Am
Shadows on the hills        sketch the trees and the daffodils
                         C               D                        G      C  G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill in colours on the snowy linen land
 
 
[Chorus]
               Am    Am6                   G           Em
And now I understand      what you tried to say to me
                          Am     Am6                           Em
How you suffered for your sanity     How you tried to set them free
                              A            Am    Am6                 G
They would not listen, they did not know how   perhaps they'll listen now
 
 
[Verse]
 
Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Am        Am6                      G      Em
For they could not love you  but still your love was true
           Am                            Cm
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
    G                F7           E7       Am
You took you life as lovers often do, but I could have told you Vincent
     C                               D           G       C   G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you
 
 
[Verse]
 
Starry starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes
The silver thorn, the bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow
 
 
[Chorus]
                Am     Am6                   G           Em
And now I think I know      what you tried to say to me
                          Am      Am6                           Em
How you suffered for your sanity     How you tried to set them free
                                   A               Am    Am6                 G   C  G
They would not listen, they're not  listening still     perhaps they never will
