[Em]Remember when you were young[D] you shone like the[G] sun [C]shine [Bm]on [Am]you [G]crazy [D]diamond.
[Em]now theres a look in your eye [D]like black holes in the [G]sky [C]shine [Bm]on [Am]you [G]crazy [D]diamond
you were [Em]caught in the crossfire of [Dm]childhood and stardom and [Em]blown upon the [A]steel breeze
[C]come on you target for [Bm]faraway laughter
[G]come on you legend[Bm] you stranger [B]you martyr [Em]and shine

You reached for the secret too soon you cried for the moon
shine on you crazy diamond
frightened by shadows at night, exposed in the light
shine on you crazy diamond
you wore out your welcome with random precision
you rode upon 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 you crazy diamond
pile on many more layers I'll be joining you there
shine on you crazy diamond
and we'll bask in the shadow of yesterdays triumph we'll sail
upon the steel breeze
come on you boy child you winner and looser,
Come on you miner of truth and delusion and shine
