I found a much easier version than the other postings, I made a few adjustments. 
Sounds best when picked.
Have fun!




G		G         G			
Starry, starry 	night, paint your palette 	
Am		Am		C
Blue and grey, Look out on a 	summer's day, 
D			   D		    G
with eyes that know the darkness in my soul
G		    G
Shadows on the hills, 
C		          Am
Sketch the trees and daffodills
 C			Am
Catch the breeze and 	winter chills, in 
D		D	      G
colors on the snowy linen land 	   	 
G	                Am	  Am
And now I under stand what you tried to 
G	    		Am		Am
Say to me,  how you suffered for your sanity
       C		        G
How you tried to set them free, 
C			 C  	          Am
they would not listen, they did not know how,
D				G
  Perhaps they'll listen 	now

G		 G         G			
Starry, starry 	night, flaming flowers that 	
Am		  Am	                 C
Brightly blaze, swirling clouds in violet haze
D			D	          G
Reflecting Vincent’s eyes of China Blue
G		     G
Colors changing hue, 
C		          Am
Morning fields of amber grain
C			Am
Weathered faces lined with pain 
D			      D                 G
Are soothed beneath the artists loving hand
G	                Am        Am
And now I under stand what you tried to 
G		           Am	          Am
say to me,  how you suffered for your sanity

C			       G	
How you tried to set them free, 
C			   	  Am
they would not listen, they did not know how,
D				G
Perhaps they'll listen 	now



  C	
For they could not love you,
         C			G
 but still your love was true
C				    C
And when no 	hope was left in sight 
	C	          C
On that starry, starry night, 
	G		G	   G
you took your life as lovers sometimes do
Am					     C
But I could have told you, Vincent, this world was 
			 D		G
Never meant for one as beautiful as 	you



G		G	G			
Starry, starry 	night, portraits hung in  	
Am		Am		C
Empty halls, fearless heads on nameless walls
D			D                 G
with eyes that watch the world and can’t forget
G				G
Like the strangers that you’ve met
C		          Am
The ragged men in ragged clothes 
 C			Am
The silver thorn of bloody rose, lie
D		         D 	      G
Crushed and broken on the virgin snow
G	                   Am        Am
And now I think I know, what you tried to 
G 			Am		  Am
say to me,  how you suffered for your sanity
    C		        G
How you tried to set them free, 
C			   	                Am
They would not listen, they’re not listening still,
D      	             G
Perhaps the never will…
