Don McLean - Vincent



![]() ![]() ![]() |
Starry starry night |
![]() |
Paint your palette blue |
![]() ![]() |
And grey |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Look out on a summers day |
![]() |
With eyes that know the darkness |
![]() |
In my soul |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Shadows on the hills |
![]() |
Sketch the trees |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
And the daffodills |
![]() ![]() |
Catch the breeze and the |
![]() |
Winter chills |
![]() ![]() |
In colors on the snowy linen land |
![]() ![]() |
Now I understand |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
What you tried to say to me |
![]() ![]() |
And how you suffered for your |
![]() ![]() |
Sanity |
![]() ![]() |
And 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 Vincents eyes |
![]() |
Of china blue |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Colors changing hue |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Morning fields of amber grain |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Weathered faces lined in pain |
![]() |
Are soothed beneath the artists |
![]() |
Loving hand |
![]() ![]() |
Now I understand |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
What you tried to say to me |
![]() ![]() |
And how you suffered for your |
![]() ![]() |
Sanity |
![]() ![]() |
And how you tried to set them free |
![]() |
They would not listen |
![]() ![]() |
They did not know how |
![]() ![]() |
Perhaps they'll listen now |
![]() ![]() |
For they could not love you |
![]() |
But still your love |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
Was true |
![]() ![]() |
And when no hope was left in sight |
![]() |
On that starry starry night |
![]() ![]() |
You took your life as lovers |
![]() |
Often do |
![]() |
But I could've 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 cant forget |
![]() |
Like the strangers |
![]() ![]() |
That you've met |
![]() |
The ragged men |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
In ragged clothes |
![]() ![]() |
The silver thorn of bloody rose |
![]() |
Lie crushed and broken on |
![]() |
The virgin snow |
Bridge: |
Aadd9 Aadd9 G Am x2 |
![]() ![]() |
Now I think I know |
![]() ![]() ![]() |
What you tried to say to me |
![]() ![]() |
And how you suffered for your |
![]() |
Sanity |
![]() ![]() |
And how you tried to set them free |
![]() |
They would not listen |
![]() ![]() |
They're not listening still |
![]() ![]() |
Perhaps they never will |
Ending: |
G Am Aadd9 Aadd9 x2 |
