🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Shine on, you crazy diamond
  • Now there's a look in your eyes
  • Like black holes in the sky
  • Shine on, you crazy diamond

Sing it again — final chorus

  • Shine on, you crazy diamond
  • Well, you wore out your welcome
  • With random precision
  • Rode on the steel breeze
