Vincent - Ellie Goulding chords

Key: G Singer/Band: Ellie Goulding


Capo 4
Verse 1
Starry, starry [G]night
Paint your pallet [Am]blue and grey
Look out on a s[C]ummer's day with eye[D7]s that know the darkness in my
soul[G]
Shadows on the hills, sketch the trees and [Am]the daffodils
Catch the breeze and the [C]winter chills, in [D7]colours on the snowy linen
land [G] [C] [G]
Chorus
And now I [Am]understand [D7]what you tried to say [G]to me [Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen, they did [A7]not know how [Am7]perhaps [D7]they listen
[G]now
Verse 2
Starry, starry [G]night
Flaming flowers [Am]that brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in [C]violet haze [D7]reflect in Vincent's eyes of china
[G]blue
Colors changing hue, morning fields of [Am]amber grain
Weathered faces [C]lined in pain, are [D7]soothed beneath the artist's loving
hand [G]
Chorus
And now I [Am]understand [D7]what you tried to say [G]to me [Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them [Em]free
They would not listen, they did [A7]not know how [Am7]perhaps [D7]they listen
[G]now
Extended Chorus
F[G]or they could not lo[Am7]ve you, bu[D7]t still your love was true [G] [Em]
And when no [Am7]hope was left in sight on that [Cm6]starry, starry night
You [G]took your life as [F7]lovers often do, [E7] But I could [Am7]have told
you Vincent
This [C]world was never meant for one as [D7]beautiful as you [G]
Verse 3
Starry, starry [G]night
Portraits hung in [Am]empty halls
Frameless heads on n[C]ameless walls, with eyes[D7] that watch the world and
can't forget[G]
Like the strangers that you've met, the ragged men in [Am]ragged clothes
The silver thorn, the [C]bloody rose, lie [D7]crushed and broken on the virgin
snow [G]
Final Chorus
And now I think I [Am]know [D7]what you tried to say [G]to me [Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7]How you tried to set them free [Em]
They would not listen, they're not [A7]listening still [Am7] [D7]perhaps they
never will [G]
Optional Outro
