This is the chord progression of Vincent by Jim Van Der Zee on Piano, Guitar, Ukulele and Keyboard.
[Verse]
D D Em
Starry, starry night, flaming flowers that Brightly blaze,
F# G A D
swirling clouds in violet haze Reflecting Vincent’s eyes of China Blue
D D Em
Colors changing hue, Morning fields of amber grain
F# G A D
Weathered faces lined with pain Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
[Chorus]
Em Bm D
And now I under stand what you tried to Say to me,
Em A Bm
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free,
Em A D
they would not listen, they did not know how, Perhaps they’ll listen now
[Bridge]
Em Bm D
For they could not love you, but still your love was true
Em Cm
And when no hope was left in sight On that starry, starry night,
D F C9
you took your life as lovers sometimes do
Em G
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was
A D
Never meant for one as beautiful as you
[Verse]
D D Em
Starry, starry night, portraits hung in Empty halls,
F# G A D
frameless heads on nameless walls with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
D D Em
Like the strangers that you’ve met The ragged men in ragged clothes
F# G A D
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie Crushed and broken on the virgin snow
[Chorus]
Em Bm D
And now I think I know what you tried to Say to me,
Em A Bm
how you suffered for your sanity How you tried to set them free,
Em A
They would not listen, they’re not listening still,Perhaps the never will
