Pink Floyd Shine on You Crazy Diamond Acoustic Lesson

Hi Youtubers!
It's another long one. But since I've been approved to make longer vids I'm taking advantage of it.
This is a lesson for the acoustic version of SOYCD, as played in the Meltdown concert in 2002.
It's not 100% exact but it's close enough to play along to the song. Just the chords, no scales- Sorry.
Basic backing chords and some of the ticky ones, i.e. (the Jimi hendrix chords) and the Ediminshed

Here are the chords:

(Intro refers to the four notes; Bb-F-G-E)
(Intro notes) to C F Gm
(Intro notes) to Gm Eb Dm Gm Cm Gm Dm

Gm
Remember when you were young,
F# Bb
You shone like the sun.
Eb Dm Cm Bb F
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Gm
Now there's a look in your eyes,
F# Bb
Like black holes in the sky.
Eb Dm Cm Bb F
Shine on you crazy diamond. Gm
You were caught in the crossfire
Gm/F#
Of childhood and stardom,
Gm/F C9
Blown on the steel breeze.
Eb Edim
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
Bb Dm D Gm
Come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine Gm
You reached for the secret too soon,
F# Bb
You cried for the moon.
Eb Dm Cm Bb F
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Gm
Threatened by shadows at night,
F# Bb
And exposed in the light.
Eb Dm Cm Bb F
Shine on you crazy diamond. Gm
Well you wore out your welcome Gm/F#
With random precision,
Gm/F C9
Rode on the steel breeze.
Eb Edim
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
Bb Dm D Gm
Come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner and shine

Well done. Just a note. In the very end, where you wrote in the Tab as the B string being pressed on the 7th fret I think you meant 6th. You play it quite right though. Cheers :)

@Anntartist -yes you're right and I fixed it, thanks.

The intro of the live acoustic version at Meltdown starts on Em. The song is in Gm though.

[LowFlyer1200]

@jeffs1000 Thanks. They are KRK Rokit 6fr studio monitor speakers.

Are you sure it starts on Em? It's rather Gm, i think...
