I missed a good fingerpicking chord version of this fabolous song.
The fingerpicking you have to find out for yourself, or turn to the tab-version of
course. Or play along with YouTube.
The number between brackets after the G chord means it's a different chord form
than played elsewhere. See chord diagrams.
G Gadd11 - G
Starry, starry night
paint your palette Amblue and Asus2grey Am
AmLook out on a Am/Csummer's Asus2/Cday
with D7eyes that know the darkness in my Gsoul
Gaddd11 G Gadd11 - G
Shadows on the hills,
sketch the trees and the AmdaffoAsus2dils, Am
AmCatch the breeze and the Am/Cwinter Asus2/Cchills
in D7colours on the snowy linen Gland.
Gsus4-G(no3)-Gsus4-G-Gsus2
G Am Asus2 D7 G G/F#
Now I understand what you tried to say to me.
EmHow you suffered for your Am7sanity,D7 how you tried to set them Emfree.
They would not listen, they did A7not know how.Am7 PerD7haps they'll listen Gnow.
GM7(no5)-G6(no5)-G
G Gadd11 - G
Starry, starry night,
flaming flowers that Ambrightly Asus2blaze, Am
AmSwirling clouds in Am/Cviolet Asus2/Chaze
reD7flect in Vincent's eyes of China Gblue.
Gaddd11 G Gadd11 - G
Colours changing hue,
morning fields of Amamber Asus2grain Am
AmWeathered faces Am/Clined in Asus2/Cpain
are D7soothed beneath the artist's loving Ghand
G Am Asus2 D7 G G/F#
Now I understand what you tried to say to me.
EmHow you suffered for your Am7sanity,D7 how you tried to set them Emfree.
They would not listen, they did A7not know how.Am7 PerD7haps they'll listen Gnow.
G Am Asus4 D7 G G/F#
For they could not love you but still your love was true
EmAnd when no Am7hope was left in sight on that Cmstarry, starry night,
G F6add#11 E7 Am7
You took your life as lovers often do. But I could have told you, Vincent,
This Cworld was never Am7meant for one as D7beautiful as Gyou.
Gsus4-G(no3)-Gsus4-G-Gsus2
G Gadd11 - G
Starry, starry night,
portraits hung in Amempty Asus2halls, Am
AmFrameless heads on Am/Cnameless Asus2/Cwalls
with D7eyes that watch the world and can't forGget.
Gadd11 G Gadd11-G
Like the strangers that you've met,
the ragged men in Amragged Asus2clothes,Am
AmThe silver thorn, the Am/Cbloody Asus2/Crose
like D7crushed and broken on the virgin Gsnow.
G Am Asus2 D7 G G/F#
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me.
EmHow you suffered for your Am7sanity,D7 how you tried to set them Emfree.
They would not listen, they're not A7listening stillAm7
perD7haps they never Gwill.
