This is the chord progression of Vincent by Ellie Goulding on Piano, guitar and keyboard.

[Verse 1]
B
Starry, starry night
C#m
Paint your palette blue and grey
E
Look out on a summer’s day
F#                                                       B
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul
E           B              E
Shadows on the hills
B                                         C#m
Sketch the trees and the daffodils
C#m                                                             E
Catch the breeze and the winter chills
F#                     B                     E          B
In colors on the snowy linen land

[Chorus]
C#m
Now I understand
F#                     B                     G#m
What you tried to say to me
G#m                                         C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#                                         G#m
How you tried to set them free
C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
B                     E                     B
Perhaps they’ll listen now

[Verse 2]
B                     E
Starry, starry night
B                                         C#m
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze
C#m                                         E
Swirling clouds in a violet haze
F#                                                             B
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue
E       B       E          B
Colors changing hue
B                                         C#m
Morning fields of amber grain
C#m                                         E
Weathered faces lined in pain
F#                                         B
Are soothed beneath the artist’s loving hand

[Chorus]
C#m
Now I understand
F#        B           F#          G#m
What you tried to say to me
G#m                                         C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
F#                                         G#m
How you tried to set them free
C#m
They would not listen, they did not know how
B                                         B
Perhaps they’ll listen now

[Bridge]
C#m
For they could not love you
F#                     B                     G#m
But still your love was true
G#m                                         C#m
And when no hope was left in sight
E
On that starry, starry night
B                     F#                     G#m
You took your life, as lovers often do
C#m
But I could’ve told you, Vincent
E                     F#                     B                     B                     E      B
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you

[Verse 3]
B E B
Starry, starry night
B C#m
Portraits hung in empty halls
C#m E
Frameless heads on nameless walls
F# B
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
E B E B
Like the strangers that you’ve met
B C#m
The ragged men in ragged clothes
C#m E
The silver thorn on the bloody rose
F# B E B
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow

[Outro]
B C#m
Now I think I know
B F# G#m
What you tried to say to me
G#m C#m
And how you suffered for your sanity
C#m G#m
And how you tried to set them free
C#m
They would not listen, they’re not listening still
B F# G#m
Perhaps they never will

[Outro]
C#m F# B E
B
