Vincent Starry Starry Night Chords & Lyrics - Julio Iglesias

Capo III

[VERSE 1]
Starry starry [D]night, paint your palette [Em]blue and gray,
look out on a [G]summer's day
with [A]eyes that know the darkness in my [D]soul.

[VERSE 2]
Shadows on the [D]hills, sketch the trees and the [Em]daffodils,
catch the breeze and the [G]winter chills
in [A]colors on the snowy linen [D]land.

[CHORUS]
Now I unders[Em]tand [A] what you tried to [D]say to me,
how you suffered for your [G]sanity, [A]
how you tried to set them [D]free.
They would not listen they did [Em]not know how. [A]
perhaps they'll listen [D]now .

[VERSE 3]
Starry starry [D]night, flaming flowers that [Em]brightly blaze,
swirling clouds in [G]violet haze
re[A]flect in Vincent's eyes of china [D]blue.

[VERSE 4]
Colors changing [D]hue, morning fields of [Em]amber grain,
weathered faces [G]lined in pain
are [A]soothed beneath the artist's loving [D]hand.

[CHORUS]
Now I unders[Em]tand [A] what you tried to [D]say to me,
how you suffered for your [G]sanity, [A]
how you tried to set them [D]free.
They would not listen they did [Em]not know how. [A]
perhaps they'll listen [D]now.

[BRIDGE]
For they could not [Em]love you, [A] but still your love was [D]true,[A] [Bm]
and when no [G]hope was left inside on that [A#]starry starry night
you took your [D]life as lovers often[B7] do,
but I could have [Em]told you Vincent,
this [A]world was never meant for one as [A7]beautiful as [D]you. [G] [D]

[VERSE 5]
Starry starry [D]night, portraits hung in [Em]empty halls,
frameless heads on [G]nameless walls
with [A]eyes that watch the world and can't [D]forget.

[VERSE 6]
Like the strangers that you've [D]met, the ragged men in [Em]ragged clothes,
the silver thorn of [G]bloody rose
lie [A]crushed and broken on the virgin [D]snow.

[OUTRO]
Now I think I [Em]know [A] what you tried to [D]say to me,
how you suffered for your [Em]sanity, [A] how you tried to set them [D]free.
They did not listen, they're not listening [G]still, per[A]haps they never[D] will.
