Vincent - Ellie Goulding chords

Key: G Singer/Band: Ellie Goulding


Capo 4
Verse 1
Starry, starry n[G]ight
Paint your pallet bl[Am]ue 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 the[Am] daffodils
Catch the breeze and the w[C]inter chills, in col[D7]ours on the snowy linen
land [G] [C] [G]
Chorus
And now I under[Am]stand [D7]what you tried to say t[G]o me [Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them free[Em]
They would not listen, they did n[A7]ot know how [Am7]perhaps [D7]they listen
now[G]
Verse 2
Starry, starry n[G]ight
Flaming flowers t[Am]hat brightly blaze
Swirling clouds in [C]violet haze ref[D7]lect in Vincent's eyes of china
blue[G]
Colors changing hue, morning fields of [Am]amber grain
Weathered faces [C]lined in pain, are soo[D7]thed beneath the artist's loving
hand [G]
Chorus
And now I under[Am]stand [D7]what you tried to say t[G]o me [Em]
How you suffered for your [Am7]sanity [D7] How you tried to set them free[Em]
They would not listen, they did n[A7]ot know how [Am7]perhaps [D7]they listen
now[G]
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 h[Am7]ope was left in sight on that sta[Cm6]rry, starry night
You t[G]ook your life as lo[F7]vers often do, [E7] But I could [Am7]have told
you Vincent
This w[C]orld was never meant for one as bea[D7]utiful as you [G]
Verse 3
Starry, starry n[G]ight
Portraits hung in e[Am]mpty 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 b[C]loody rose, lie cru[D7]shed and broken on the virgin
snow [G]
Final Chorus
And now I think I k[Am]now [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] perhaps[D7] they
never will [G]
Optional Outro
