A classic Don McLean song. Tabbed from the Josh Groban cover, so some things will be different from your memories of them. Enjoy! :D
-4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
Starry, Starry Night, paint your palette blue and gray,
-7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7
look out on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.
-4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and daffodils,
-7 -6 6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 6
catch the breeze and the winter chills in colours on the snowy linen land.
6 -6 -7 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 6 5 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -6-7 5
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity,
-5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
and how you tried to set them free. They would not listen; they did not know how.
5 -5 6 -6 -5 6
Perhaps they'll listen now.
-4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
Starry, Starry Night, flaming flow'rs that brightly blaze,
-7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6-6 -7
swirling clouds in violet haze, reflect in Vincent's eyes of China blue.
-4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -6-7 5
Colours changing hue, morning fields of amber grain,
-7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 6
weathered faces lined in pain are soothed beneath the artist's loving hand.
6 -6 -7 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 6 5 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -6-7 5
Now I understand what you tried to say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity,
-5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
and how you tried to set them free. They would not listen; they did not know how.
5 -5 6 -6 -5 6 6 -6 -7 -8 7 -7 -6 -6
Perhaps they'll listen now. For they could not love____ you,
6 -6 -7 7 -8 -8 9 -9 -8 8 -8 -8 7 7
But still your love was true. And when no hope was left in sight
7 -8 8' -8 -8 7 7 6 -8 7 7 -7 -7 6 -6-7 -7
on that starry, starry night, you took your life as lovers often do.
-4 -7 -7 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 -7 7 7 7-7 -7 -6 6 6 -7 -6 6 -5 6
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.
-4 5 6 -6 -7 -7 -6 6 5 -6-7 5
Starry, Starry Night, portraits hung on empty walls,
-7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7
frameless head in nameless halls, with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.
-4 -4 -4 5 6 -6 -7 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in ragged clothes,
-7 -6 6 6 5 -6 -7 5 6 6 -5 5-4 5 -5 6 -6 6
the silver thorn of bloody rose lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow.
6 -6 -7 6 -6 -6 -7 7 -8 -7 -6 6 5 6 -6 -7 -6 6 5 -6-7 5
Now I think I know what you tried to say to me, and how you suffered for your sanity,
-5 5 -4 5 -5 6 -6 -7 -7 -7 7 -7 -6 6 5 -6 -7 5
and how you tried to set them free. They would not listen; they're not list'ning still.
5 -5 6 -6-5 6
Perhaps they never will. |
