Lirik Lagu Vincent – Don McLean

[Verse 1]

G Gsus4 G Am

Starry, starry  night,   paint your palette blue and grey

C D G

Look out on a summer’s day, with eyes that know the darkness in my soul

G Gsus4 G Am

Shadows on the hills, Sketch the trees and daffodils

C D G

Catch the breeze and winter chills, in colors on the snowy linen land

 

[Chorus]

Am D G G/F# Em

And now I understand what you tried to say to me,

Am D Em

How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,

A Am D G

They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they’ll listen now

 

[Verse 2]

G Gsus4 G Am

Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that brightly blaze,

C D G

Swirling clouds in violet haze reflecting Vincent’s eyes of china blue

G Gsus4 G Am

Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber grain

C D G

Weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand

 

[Chorus]

Am D G G/F# Em

And now I understand what you tried to say to me,

Am D Em

How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,

A Am D G

They would not listen, they did not know how, perhaps they’ll listen now

 

[Bridge]

Am D G G/F# Em

For they could not love you, but still your love was true

Am Cm

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

G F E7

You took your life as lovers often do

Am C

But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was

D G

Never meant for one as beautiful as you

 

[Verse 3]

G Gsus4 G Am

Starry, starry night, portraits hung in empty halls,

C D G

Frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget

G Gsus4 G Am

Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes

C D G

The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

 

[Chorus]

Am D G G/F# Em

And now I think I know what you tried to say to me,

Am D Em

How you suffered for your sanity, how you tried to set them free,

A Am D G

They would not listen, they’re not listening still, perhaps they never will
