            Remember when you were young - you shone like the sun
           Eb     Eb/D   Cm Bb    F
            Shine on you cra - zy diamond
                                                                (C) /\ (A)(F)   F F/Gb

            Now there's a look in your eyes like black holes in the sky
            Shine on you crazy diamond
                                                            F D C F Thing  F F/Gb

                             You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom
                            Gm7                        C
                             Blown on the steel breeze
                             Eb                                   Eb/E
                             Come on you target for faraway laughter
                             Bb                                         Dm             F#/C           Gm
                             Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr and shine
                                                                                                                    (1st verse)

            You reached for the secret too soon - you tried for the moon
            Shine on you crazy diamond
            Threatened by shadows at night and exposed in the light
            Shine on you crazy diamond

                             Well, you wore out your welcome with random precision
                             Rode on the steel breeze
                             Come on you raver, you seer of visions
                             Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner and shine
                                            *Interlude*   Gm GmM7 (x2) C Gm GmM7 Eb D
                                                                     Gm (x2) C Gm GmM7 Eb D
                                                                        (1st verse)

            Nobody knows where you are - how near or how far
            Shine on you crazy diamond
            Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there
            Shine on you crazy diamond

                             And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph
                             Sail on the steel breeze
                             Come on you boy child, you winner and loser
                             Come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine...

                                                                                                        Gm add4 add5 add4
                                                                                                           (repeat & fade)
