A#m                           A                    C#

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

F#    F#/F    D#m   F#/C#  G#/C         G#      (Adim7)

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

A#m                              A                           C#

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

F#    F#/F    D#m   F#/C#  G#/C         G#

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

         A#m                         A#m/A

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,  

A#m7/G#              Gdim7

Blown on the steel breeze.

F#                     Gdim7

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

C#/G#                      Fm/G#        F7/A       A#m

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

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

F#    F#/F    D#m    F#/C#    G#/C         G#

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

A#m                             A                    C#

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

Shine on you crazy          diamond.

Well you wore out your welcome, with random precision,  

A#m7/G#             Gdim7

Rode on the steel breeze.

F#                     Gdim7

Come on you raver, you seer of visions,

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

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

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

F#    F#/F    D#m    F#/C#    G#/C         G#

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

Sail on the steel breeze.

F#                         Gdim7

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,

C#/G#                  Fm/G#         F7/A     A#m

Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine!
