(Part IV) Gm Gb Bb Remember when you were young, You shone like the sun. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F (F#dim7) Shine on you crazy diamond. Gm Gb Bb Now there's a look in your eyes, Like black holes in the sky. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F Shine on you crazy diamond. Gm Gm/F# You were caught in the crossfire of childhood and stardom, Gm7/F Edim7 Blown on the steel breeze. Eb Edim7 Come on you target for faraway laughter, Bb/F Dm/F D7/F# Gm Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!Part VII Intro Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F (F#dim7)Verse 2:
(Part IV) Gm Gb Bb You reached for the secret too soon, You cried for the moon. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F Shine on you cra- -zy diamond. Gm Gb Bb Threatened by shadows at night, And exposed in the light. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F Shine on you crazy diamond. Gm Gm/F# Well you wore out your welcome, with random precision, Gm7/F Edim7 Rode on the steel breeze. Eb Edim7 Come on you raver, you seer of visions, Bb/F Dm/F D7/F# Gm Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner and shine!Verse 3:
(Part VII) Gm Gb Bb Nobody knows where you are, How near or how far. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F Shine on you cra- -zy diamond. Gm Gb Bb Pile on many more layers, And I'll be joining you there. Eb Eb/D Cm Eb/Bb F/A F Shine on you cra- -zy diamond. Gm Gm/F# And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph, Gm7/F Edim7 Sail on the steel breeze. Eb Edim7 Come on you boy child, you winner and loser, Bb/F Dm/F D7/F# Gm Come on you miner for truth and delusion and shine
