Lyrics

Star ry, star ry night,

paint your pal ette (Gm)blue and gray,

look out on a (Bb)sum mer’s day

with (C7)eyes that know the dark ness in my (F)soul.

Like the Shad ows on the hills,

the sketch the trees and (Gm)daf fo dils,

the catch the breeze and the (Bb)win ter chills

in (C7)col ors on the snow y lin en (F)land.

Now I un der (Gm)stand

what you tried to (F)say

(C)to

(Dm)me, and how you suf fered for your (Gm)san i ty,

and how you tried to set them (Dm)free.

They would not lis ten; they did (Gsus)not know (G)how.

Per (C)haps they’ll lis ten (F)now.

Star ry, star ry night,

flam ing flow’rs that (Gm)bright ly blaze,

swirl ing clouds in (Bb)vio let haze

re (C7)flect in Vin cent’s eyes of Chi na (F)blue.

Like the Col ors chang ing hue,

the morn ing fields of (Gm)am ber grain,

the weath ered fac and es (Bb)lined in pain

are (C7)soothed be neath the art ist’s lov ing (F)hand.

Now I un der (Gm)stand

what you tried to (F)say

(C)to

(Dm)me, and how you suf fered for your (Gm)san i ty,

and how you tried to set them (Dm)free.

They would not lis ten; they did (Gsus)not know (G)how.

Per (C)haps they’ll lis ten (F)now.

Star ry, star ry

Per (C7)haps they’ll lis ten (F)now.

(Gm7)For they (F)could not (Gm)love you,

but still your love was (C)true.

And when no (Gm)hope was left in sight on that (Bbm)star ry, star ry night, you (F)took your life as (F)lov ers of ten (D)do.

But I could have told you, (Gm)Vin cent,

this (Bb)world was nev er meant for one as (Csus)beau ti ful (C)as

(F)you.

Per haps they nev er (F)will.
