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 pallet blue and grey
C D7 G
Look out on a summers day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
Am
Shadows on hills sketch the tree's and daffodils
C D7 G - C - G
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colours on the snowy linnen land
[Chorus]
Am D7 G Em
And now I understand what you tried to say to me
Am7 D7 Em
How you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free
A7 Am7 - D7 G
They would not listen the did not know how perhaps they they'll listen now
[Verse 2]
Starry Starry
G Am
night flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C D7 G
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue
Am
Colors 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 they 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 your 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 can't 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 they're not listening still perhaps they never will
[Optional Outro]
G---Am---C-D7---G
