PINK FLOYD – SHINE ON YOU CRAZY DIAMOND
 
I glued together the classic intro parts and those with lyrics (IV and VII).
The reason for joining the parts in this arrangement is to give it a reasonable length
for the listener. It has, IMHO, the characteric parts most of my listeners remenber. :-)

I tried to work on accuracy now.

I don't know why anyone would consider this inaccurate. The chords look and sound right to me. Thank you for your hard work and keep shining on!

Hi Peter, thanks for that suggestion. The reason why is: For me the sections left out would simply clutter up the sheet. I made this one for my solo piano performances and I experienced the people recognising the intro instrumental parts but nobody misses the solos in between or even after Part VII. The (forgive me) new-composition gives this opus magnus the more song-like structure, I wanted to achieve.
