Vincent Guitar Chords James Blake
[Verse]
D G D Em
Starry, starry night, paint your palette blue and grey
G A D G D
Look out on a summer's day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
D G D Em
Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and daffodills
G A D
Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land
[Chorus]
Em A D D/C# Bm
And now I under stand what you tried to Say to me,
Em A Bm
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free,
E Em A D G D
they would not listen, they did not know how, Perhaps they'll listen now
[Verse]
D G D Em
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that Brightly blaze,
G A D G D
swirling clouds in violet haze Reflecting Vincent’s eyes of China Blue
D G D Em
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber grain
G A D
Weathered faces lined with pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
[Chorus]
Em A D D/C# Bm
And now I under stand what you tried to Say to me,
Bm Em A Bm
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free,
E Em A D G D
they would not listen, they did not know how, Perhaps they'll listen now
[Bridge]
Em A D D/C# Bm
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Em Gm
And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night,
D Am B7
you took your life as lovers sometimes do
Em G
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
A D
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse]
D G D Em
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in Empty halls,
G A D G D
fearless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
D G D Em
Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes
G A D
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie Crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Em A D D/C# Bm
And now I think I know what you tried to Say to me,
Bm Em A Bm
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free,
E Em A D G D
They would not listen, they’re not listening still,Perhaps the never will
