D5               A5            B5                 A5
            Your ever lastin' summer, you can see it fadin' fast,
            D5                       A5            B5                 A5
            So you grab a piece of somethin' that you think is gonna last.
      C#5                          C5          B5           A5
      Well, you wouldn't even know a diamond if you held it in your hand;
            D5                     A5            B5            A5
            The things you think are precious I can't understand.

This is what I dug out from Nevada. The first two lines are fine...

But C#/E   ,  C/Eb    etc for the third and fourth lines  ?????

If you try these chords, they sound pretty weird. C# with an E bass ?

If you try E with a C# bass it's almost right though I prefer these chorts :

    E5                    B5             D5                A5
you wouldn't even know  a diamond  if  you held  it  in your  hand

Probably it was a slip up when it was typed in, cos' everything except this
line is Ok.

                                     G5                    A5
      CHORUS:      Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
                                      G5                         A5
         |       Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine
                                   G5                    A5
         |       Are you reelin' in the years, stowin away the time?
                                      G5                         F#5
         |       Are you gatherin' up the tears, have you had enough of mine

            D5                            A5     B5             A5
            You been tellin' me you're a genius since you were seventeen;
            D5               A5               B5                        A5
            In all the time I've known you I still don't know what you mean.
            C#5                   C5          B5              A5
            The weekend at the college didn't turn out like you planned;
            D5                 A5              B5           A5
            The things that pass for knowledge I can't understand.

            CHORUS


            D5                     A5         B5            A5
            I've spent a lit of money and I spent a lot of time;
            D5                     A5      B5                A5
            The trip we made to Hollywood is etched upon my mind.
            C#5                   C5                B5          A5
            After all the things we've done and seen you find another man;
            D5                      A5          B5         A5
            The things you think are useless I can't understand.
