SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND

PINK FLOYD

Solm

Remember when you were young,

Solb                 Sib

You shone like the sun.

 

Mib   Mib/Re   Dom Dom/Sib Fa

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Solm

Now there's a look in your eyes,

Solb                      Sib

Like black holes in the sky.

 

Mib   Mib/Re   Dom Dom/Sib Fa

Shine on you crazy diamond.

         Solm

You were caught in the crossfire

   Solm maj7/Fa#

Of childhood and stardom,

Solm7/Fa              Do9

Blown on the steel breeze.

Mib                     Midim

Come on you target for faraway laughter,

Sib/Fa                      Rem          Re7          Solm

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

    Solm

You reached for the secret too soon,

Solb                Sib

You cried for the moon.

Mib   Mib/Re   Dom Dom/Sib Fa

 

Shine on you crazy diamond.

Solm

Threatened by shadows at night,

Solb                 Sib

And exposed in the light.

Mib   Mib/Re   Dom Dom/Sib Fa

 

Shine on you crazy diamond.

         Solm

Well you wore out your welcome

    Solm Solmaj7/Fa#

With random precision,

Solm7/Fa             Do9

Rode on the steel breeze.

Mib                     Midim

Come on you river, you seer of visions,

Sib/Fa                     Rem         Re7           Solm

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