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
