Tuning: E A D G B E

Hey Guys, I just fixed up an existing tab, purely because the second and third verses did not have the chords, and when playing live (if you have not played it before) it's good to have the chords throughout the tab! www.markcrotti.com.au [Verse 1]

Starry, starry ^Gnight Paint your pallet b^Amlue and grey Look out on a ^Csummer's day with ^D7eyes that know the darkness in my^G soul Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and th^Ame daffodils Catch the breeze and the ^Cwinter chills, in ^D7colours on the snowy linen ^Gland^C ^G

[Chorus]

And now I unde^Amrstand ^D7 what you tried to ^Gsay to me^Em How you suffered for your^Am7 sanity ^D7 How you tried to set them^Em free They would not listen, they did ^A7not know how^Am7 per^D7haps they lis^Gten now

[Verse 2]

Starry, starry ^Gnight Flaming flowers ^Amthat brightly blaze Swirling clouds in^C violet haze ^D7reflect in Vincent's eyes of china^G blue Colors changing hue, morning fields of^Am amber grain Weathered faces^C lined in pain, are ^D7soothed beneath the artist's loving ^Ghand

[Chorus]

[Extended Chorus]

^GFor they could not^Am7 love you^D7, but still your love was^G true ^Em And when no ^Am7hope was left in sight on that ^Cm6starry, starry night You ^Gtook your life as^F7 lovers often^E7 do, But I^Am7 could have told you Vincent This ^Cworld was never meant for one as ^D7beautiful as ^Gyou

[Verse 3]

Starry, starry ^Gnight Portraits hung in ^Amempty halls Frameless heads on ^Cnameless walls, with e^D7yes that watch the world and can't f^Gorget Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in^Am ragged clothes The silver thorn, the ^Cbloody rose, lie ^D7crushed and broken on the virgin ^Gsnow

[Final Chorus]

And now I think I ^Amknow ^D7 what you tried to^G say to me ^Em How you suffered for your^Am7 sanity ^D7 How you tried to set them ^Emfree They would not listen, they're not ^A7 listening still ^Am7 pe^D7rhaps they never ^Gwill
