with the capo on 4, in the official video (https://youtu.be/tVMCnvuCADg)

[Verse 1]
Starry, starry nCightFsus2* C
Paint your palette Dmblue and grey
Look out on a suFsus2mmer's day
With eG6sus4yes that know the darkness of my sCoul
Fsus2Shadows on the hCillFsus2* C
Sketch the trees and the Dmdaffodils
Catch the breeze and the wFsus2inter chills
In coGlors on the snowy linen lanCd
[Chorus]
Now I undersDmtand G- what you tried to Csay to meC/B Am7
How you suffered for your sDmanity G
How you tried to set them Am7free
They did not listen, they did nDm7ot know how Fsus2
PerhGaps they'll listen nowC Fsus2* C
[Verse 2]
Starry, starry CnightFsus2* C
Flaming flowers bDmrightly blaze
Swirling clouds in vFsus2iolet haze
ReflG6sus4ect in Vincent's eyes of china blueC
And the colFsus2ors changing huCe Fsus2* C
Morning fields of Dmamber grain
Weathered faces lFsus2ined in pain
Are sGoothed beneath the artist's loving Chand
[Chorus]
CNow I underDmstand G- what you tried to Csay to meC/B Am7
How you suffered for your sDmanity G
How you tried to set them Am7free
They did not listen, they did nDot know how Fsus2
PerGhaps they'll listen nowC
[Bridge]
For they could not lDmove youG
Still your love was CtrueG/B Am G6sus4
And when no hFope was left in sight
On that sFmtarry, starry night
You tCook your life, as lC/Bovers often doAm7
But IDm could have told you, Vincent
This wFsus2orld was never meant for one as Gbeautiful as youC Fsus2* C
[Verse 3]
Starry, starry CnightFsus2* C
Portraits hung in eDmmpty halls
Frameless heads on nFsus2ameless walls
With G6sus4eyes that watch the world and can't foCrget
Like the straFsus2ngers that you've mCet Fsus2* C
Oh the ragged men in Dmragged clothes
And the silver thorn of a Fsus2bloody rose
Lies G5crushed and broken on the virgin snCow
[Outro]
And now I think DmI know G- what you tried to Csay to C/Bme Am7
How you suffered for your sDmanity G
And how you tried to set them fAm7ree
They did not listen, they're noDt listening stillFsus2
PerhGaps they never will C
