Am                           G#                    C

Remember when you were young,   You shone like the sun.

F    F/E    Dm   F/C  G/B         G      (G#dim7)

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

Am                              G#                           C

Now there's a look in your eyes,     Like black holes in the sky.

F    F/E    Dm   F/C  G/B         G

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

         Am                         Am/G#

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,  

Am7/G              F#dim7

Blown on the steel breeze.

F                     F#dim7

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

C/G                      Em/G        E7/G#       Am

Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!

     Am                              G#                    C

You reached for the secret too soon,    You cried for the moon.

F    F/E    Dm    F/C    G/B         G

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

Am                             G#                    C

Threatened by shadows at night,   And exposed in the light.

F    F/E    Dm    F/C   G/B         G

Shine on you crazy          diamond.

         Am                          Am/G#

Well you wore out your welcome, with random precision,  

Am7/G             F#dim7

Rode on the steel breeze.

F                     F#dim7

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

C/G                     Em/G       E7/G#        Am

Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner and shine!

Am                          G#                 C

Nobody knows where you are,    How near or how far.

F    F/E    Dm    F/C    G/B         G

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

 Am                       G#                          C

Pile on many more layers,     And I'll be joining you there.

F    F/E    Dm    F/C    G/B         G

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

          Am                    Am/G#

And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, 

Am7/G             F#dim7

Sail on the steel breeze.

F                         F#dim7

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

C/G                  Em/G         E7/G#     Am

Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine!
