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!
 
Solb  Sib  Mib  Mib/Re  Dom  Dom/Sib  Fa
 
    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
