TITLE: Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Lyrics and Chords


[ Edim7 = xx2323 ; Capo 3 ]

Remember when you were young
You shone like the sun
Shine on, you crazy diamond
Now there's a look in your eyes
Like black holes in the sky
Shine on, you crazy diamond

/ Em - - - / Eb - G - / C C/B Am Am7 D - - - / :

   You were caught in the crossfire
   Of childhood and stardom
   Blown on the steel breeze
   Come on you target for faraway laughter
   Come on you stranger
   You legend, you martyr, and shine

   / Em - / Em/maj7 - / Em7 - A7 - / C - Edim7 - / G - / Bm B7 Em - /

You reached for the secret too soon
You cried for the moon / Shine on...
Threatened by shadows at night
And exposed in the light / Shine on...

   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

Nobody knows where you are
How near or how far / Shine on...
Pile on many more layers
And I'll be joining you there / Shine on...

   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
