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
