Verse 1

Starry, starry Gnight,Gsus4 G paint your palette Asus2blue and greyAm 

Look out on a Csummer's daCmaj7y, with D7eyes that know the darkness in my Gsoul

Catch the breeze Cand winter Cmaj7chills, in D7colors on the snowy linen Gland

Chorus

Verse 2

Starry, starry Gnight,Gsus4 G flaming flowers Asus2that brightly Amblaze,

Swirling clouds in Cviolet Cmaj7haze refD7lecting Vincent's eyes of china Gblue

Colors changing GhueGsus4, G Morning fields of Asus2amber graAmin

Weathered faces Clined in Cmaj7pain are D7soothed beneath the artist's loving Ghand

Chorus

And now I undersAmtand D7 what you tried to Gsay to G/F#me,Em

Verse 3

Starry, starry Gnight,Gsus4 G portraits hung in Asus2empty hallAms,

Frameless heads on Cnameless Cmaj7walls with D7eyes that watch the world and can't forGget

Like the strangers that you've GmetGsus4 G The ragged men in Asus2ragged clothAmes

The silver thorn of Cbloody rose, lie D7crushed and broken on the virgin Gsnow
