Vincent Tab uke di Don Mclean

.

              D                        Em
Starry Starry night paint your pallete blue and grey

              G                 A7                                D
Look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

                                            Em
Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and daffodils

                         G               A7                        D
Catch the breeze and the winter chill In colors on the snowy linen land

 

               Em     A7                    D           Bm
    Now I understand      what you tried to say to me

                          Em7     A7                           Bm
How you suffered for your sanity     How you tried to set them free

                               E7          Em7   A7                   D
They would not listen they did not know how   perhaps they'll listen now



              D                          Em
Starry starry night flaming flowers that brightly blaze

                   G             A7                               D
Swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in Vincent's eyes of china blue

                                       Em
Colors changing hue, morning fields of amber grain

                 G                A7                                 D
Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artists loving hand


            Em     A7                    D           Bm
Now I understand      what you tried to say to me

                           Em7     A7                           Bm
How you suffered for your sanity     How you tried to set them free

                               E7          Em7   A7                   D
They would not listen they did not know how   perhaps they'll listen now

 


                   Em7      A7                        D    Bm
For they could not love you  but still your love was true

              Em7                            Gm6
 And when no hope was left in sight on that starry starry night

    D                  C7         B7                Em7
You took you life as lovers often do But I could've told you Vincent

     G                                A7           D
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you



              D                            Em
Starry starry night portraits hung in empty halls

                   G                   A7                                     D
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can't forget

                                D                     Em
Like the strangers that you've met,the ragged men in ragged clothes

                    G               A7                               D
The silver thorn a bloody rose Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

              Em     A7                    D           Bm
Now I think I know      what you tried to say to me

                         Em7     A7                           Bm
How you suffered for you sanity     How you tried to set them free

                                  E7               Em7   A7                D
They would not listen, they're not listening still     perhaps they never will
