Dm                           C#                    F

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

A#    A#/A    Gm   A#/F  C/E         C      (C#dim7)

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

Dm                              C#                           F

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

A#    A#/A    Gm   A#/F  C/E         C

Shine on you crazy        diamond.

         Dm                         Dm/C#

You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom,  

Dm7/C              Bdim7

Blown on the steel breeze.

A#                     Bdim7

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

F/C                      Am/C        A7/C#       Dm

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

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

A#    A#/A    Gm    A#/F    C/E         C

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

Dm                             C#                    F

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

A#    A#/A    Gm    A#/F   C/E         C

Shine on you crazy          diamond.

         Dm                          Dm/C#

Well you wore out your welcome, with random precision,

Rode on the steel breeze.

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

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

 Dm                       C#                          F

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

A#    A#/A    Gm    A#/F    C/E         C

Shine on you cra-       -zy  diamond.

          Dm                    Dm/C#

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

Sail on the steel breeze.

Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine!
