VINCENT CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] G There was a boy G Very strange enchanted boy G They say he wandered very far G Very far over land and sea Gsus4 G A little shy and sad of ■ eye But very wise was he And then one day Am A magic day he passed my way Am Though we talked of many thing fools and kings Am This he said to me Cmaj7 The greatest thing you'll ever learn Cmaj7 Is just to love and be loved in return Cmaj7 Starry starry night D Paint your palette blue and gray D Look out on a summer's day G With eyes that know the darkness in my soul Gsus4 Shadows on the hills ■ G Am ■ Sketch the trees and the daffodils Cmaj7 Catch the breeze and the winter chills D G C In colors on the snowy linen land ■ G Am7 ■ Now I understand D Dsus4 D ■ ■ What you tried to say to me Em7 Am7 ■ How you suffered for your sanity D Em7 How you tried to set them free A7 They would not listen they did not know how Am7 Dsus4 G ■ Perhaps they'll listen now Dsus4 G Gsus4 G Starry starry night ■ ■ Am Flaming flowers that brightly blaze C Swirling clouds in violet haze D G Reflect in Vincent's eyes of chinablue G Colors changing hue Am Morning fields of amber grain C Cmaj7 Weathered faces lined in pain ■ D D7 G Are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand Am Am7 D Now I understand ■ G Bm Em What you tried to say to me ■ Em7 Am7 ■ How you suffered for your sanity D Em7 And ■ how you tried to set them free A7 Am7 They would not listen they did not know how ■ D G Perhaps they'll listen now Am7 ■ For they could not love you D7 G Em But ■ still your love was true ■ Am And when no hope was left in sight Cm7 On that starry starry night G7 F E7 You took your life as lovers often do Am Am7 But I could've told you Vincent Cmaj7 This world was never meant for D Dsus4 G One as beautiful as you Em7 G Starry starry night Am Portraits hung in empty halls Cmaj7 Frameless heads on nameless walls D D7 G With eyes that watch this world and can't forget G Like the strangers that you've met Am G Am The ragged men in ragged clothes ■ ■ C A silver thorn of bloody rose Dsus4 D G Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow Am7 Now I think I know [Chorus] D G Bm Em ■ What you tried to say to me ■ Am7 How you suffered for your sanity D Em And ■ how you tried to set them free A7 Am7 They would not listen they're not listening still ■ D D7 G Perhaps they never will G You're gonna do that for me G I'm gonna do this for you [Outro] [End]
