Vincent

this song need some work because it modulates in the chorus

Starry starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and the daffodills
Catch the breeeze and winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land [/] [/]
Now I under stand what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
They would not listen they did not know how
Perhaps they'll listen now

Starry starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes
of china blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed ‰neath the artists's loving hand [/] [/]

For they could not love you, but still your love was true
[F#] [E]
And when no hope was left in sight, on that starry starry night
You took your life as [F7]lovers often [E7]do,
But I could have told you, Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls
Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the
world and can't for get.
Like the stranger that you've met, the ragged man in
ragged clothes
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken
on the virgin snow [/] [/]

Now I think I know what you tried to say to me
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to
set them free
They would not listen they're not listening still
Perhaps they never will
