Sonic Youth - The Diamond Sea Chords

[Verse 1]
G6                  Em
Time takes its crazy toll
    G6                  Em
And how does your mirror grow?
    G6                           Em
You better watch yourself when you jump into it
          G6                       Em
'Cause the mirror's gonna steal your soul
 
[Chorus 1]
                Em
I wonder how it came to be my friend
                       G
That someone just like you has come again
                    Em
You'll never, never know how close you came
                  G
Until you fall in love with the diamond rain
 
(There is a riff for each chord in the chorus; each basically follows the vocal line. I've placed the chord
symbols above the lyric where the actual chord lands to help with timing.)

(The rest of the song follows the same basic patterns. Obviously feel free to add any sort of insanity
you feel necessary during the long instrumental breaks between Chorus 3 and Verse 4, and/or after the
last chorus.)
 
[Verse 2]
G6                  Em
Throw all his trash away
G6                     Em
Look out, he's here to stay
     G6                         Em
Your mirror's gonna crack when he breaks into it
           G6                 Em
And you'll never, never be the same
 
[Chorus 2]
              Em
Look into his eyes and you can see
                   G
Why all the little kids are dressed in dreams
                  Em
I wonder how he's gonna make it back
                           G
When he sees that you just know it's make belief
 
[Verse 3]
G6                    Em
Blood crystallized as sand
          G6               Em
And now I hope you'll understand
        G6            Em
You reflected into his looking glass soul
            G6                 Em
And now the mirror is your only friend
 
[Chorus 3]
              Em
Look into his eyes and you will see
                  G
That men are not alone on the diamond sea
              Em
Sail into the heart of the lonely storm
                         G
And tell her that you'll love her eternally
 
(loooong instrumental break here on the record)
 
[Verse 4]
G6                    Em
Time takes its crazy toll
G6                      Em
Mirror fallin' off the wall
    G6                       Em
You better look out for the looking glass girl
             G6                 Em
'Cause she's gonna take you for a fall
 
[Final chorus]
              Em
Look into his eyes and you shall see
                  G
Why everything is quiet and nothing's free
                  Em
I wonder how he's gonna make her smile
                     G
When love is running wild on the diamond sea
