Vincent Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Jim Van Der Zee

[VERSE]

[D]Starry, starry night, fl[D]aming flowers that B[Em]rightly blaze,
swirling cloud[F#]s in [G]violet haze Ref[A]lecting Vincent’s eyes of Chi[D]na Blue
[D]Colors changing hue, Morn[D]ing fields o[Em]f amber grain
Weathered[F#] faces [G]lined with pain Are soothed b[A]eneath the artists loving hand[D]

[CHORUS]

And now I under [Em]stand[Bm] what you tried to [D]Say to me,
how you suffered for your s[Em]anity H[A]ow you tried to set them f[Bm]ree,
they would not listen, they did [Em]not know how, P[A]erhaps they'll listen n[D]ow

[BRIDGE]

For they could not lov[Em]e you, but[Bm] still your love was t[D]rue
And when no ho[Em]pe was left in sight On that [Cm]starry, starry night,
you took[D] your life [F]as lovers s[C9]ometimes do
[Em]But I could have told you, Vincent, this[G] world was
[A] * [D]
Never meant for one as beautiful as you

[VERSE]

[D]Starry, starry night, po[D]rtraits hung[Em] in Empty halls,
frameless he[F#]ads on n[G]ameless walls with[A] eyes that watch the world and can[D]’t forget
[D]Like the strangers that y[D]ou’ve met The ragged men in r[Em]agged clothes
The silver thor[F#]n of bl[G]oody rose, lie Cr[A]ushed and broken on the virgin sno[D]w

[CHORUS]

And now I think[Em] I know [Bm] what you tried to [D]Say to me,
how you suffered for y[Em]our san[A]ity How you tried to set t[Bm]hem free,
They would not listen, they’re n[Em]ot listening sti[A]ll,Perhaps the never will
