Vincent Starry Starry Night chords by Don Mclean

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) its good to have the chords throughout the
tab!


Verse 1:

Starry Starry
G            Am
night paint your pallete blue and grey
       C        D7                G
Look out on a summers day with eyes tha know the darkness in my soul
                   Am
Shadows on hills sketch the tress and daffodils
             C        D7             G - C - G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linen land

Chorus:

       Am   D7          G      Em
And now I understand   what you tried to say to me
             Am7   D7              Em
How you suffered for you sanity   How you tried to set them free
               A7     Am7 - D7          G
They would not listen the did not know how  perhaps they 'll listen now


Verse 2:

Starry Starry
 G          Am
night flamings flowers that brightly blaze
         C      D7                G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
                   Am
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grey
        C          D7                 G - C - G
Weathered faces lined in pain, are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


Extended Chorus:

G         Am7   D7            G - Em
For the could not love you, but still your love was true
      Am7              Cm6
And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night
  G        F7      E7     Am7
You took you life as lovers often do, But I could of told you Vincent
   C                D7      G
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you


Verse 3:

Starry Starry
G            Am
night portraits hung in empty halls
          C          D7                 G
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and cant forget
                          Am
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes
           C        D7                G - C - G
The silver thorn the bloody rose Lies crushed and broken on the virgin snow


Final Chorus:

        Am   D7          G     Em
And now I understand   what you tried to say to me
             Am7   D7              Em
How you suffered for you sanity   How you tried to set them free
                 A7        Am7  D7        G
They would not listen theyre not listening still   perhaps they never will
