Gm
Remember when you were young?
F# Bb
You shone like the sun.
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
Now there's a look in your eyes
F# Bb
Like black holes in the sky
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
You were caught in the crossfire
F#
Of childhood and stardom,
F E
Blown on the steel breezzzzze
Eb
Come on you target
A7
for faraway laughter;
Bb Dm
Come on you stranger, you legend,
D Gm
You martyr, and shine !
Gm
You reached for the secret too soon
F# Bb
You cried for the moon
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
Threatened by shadows at night
F# Bb
And exposed in the light
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
Well, you wore out your welcome
F#
With random precision
F E
Rode on the steel breezzzze
Eb A7
Come on you raver, you seer of visions;
Bb Dm
Come on you painter, you piper,
D Gm
You prisoner, and shine !
Gm
Nobody knows where you are,
F# Bb
How near or how far
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
Pile on many more layers
F#
And I'll be joining you there
Eb D C Bb F
Shine on, you cra---zy diamond
Gm
And we'll bask in the shadow
F#
Of yesterday's triumph
F E
And sail on the steel breezzzze
Eb A7
Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
Bb Dm D
Come on you miner for truth and delusion,
Gm
